Inmate, I have never seen a driver slide his 5th wheel to make a turn. The trailer axles yes, but not the 5th wheel. Are you speaking from experience perhaps? :lol:

Well yes and no. I was sent to some really small place in Florida. It had a very narrow entrance and a very tight left turn to get to the back of the place and you had employee parking on both sides. It definately was not designed with a '70 vehicle in mind.
Anyway I got it in there with very little hassle. But when I was going through the Qualcomm at the very bottom it said under special instructions "Slide tandems and 5th wheel all the way forward to make the left turn"
I guess this turn had hung up enough guys that this was the only way in. Granted If I did do it, my turning radius would be tighter for the corner.
But as it was, I still got it in there anyway :lol:
