Pics Of Trucks And Trailer

They just tow a lot better. Zero sway, much more maneuverable and no need for weight distributing-type devices. On a 5th-wheel or goose-neck set up, the pin or coupler of the trailer is actually located about 3 inches in front of the truck's rear axle, which distributes some of the trailer's tongue weight to the front axle of the truck.

my understanding is that the 5th wheels are movable.

I think it depends on the setup. My gooseneck ball is about 3-4 in front of the axle. All of the different hitch manufactuers had different distances from what i have seen and also depends on the truck as well. And yes IIRC 5th wheels are moveable

Ahead of the the axle is the norm. My 16K Reese fifth wheel has the ability to slide but, with an 8ft. bed it is not reall y needed. The "Goose" as Reese calls it, mounts in the same rails and enables me to haul my gooseneck. If you have ever pulled a fifth wheel or gooseneck trailer, you won't want to tow a tag along again.
Just my opinion, your'es of course may vary.

The only problem with these older campers is the low clearance. But some steel wheels in the back end on the frame, seem to get me by
