Fifth wheels

A fifth wheel is a type of RV hitch and trailer combination used for towing large campers or semi-trailers. The hitch is mounted inside the bed of a pickup truck, usually over the rear axle, providing a stable connection point. The trailer then connects to this hitch via a large, rounded coupling called a "fifth wheel," which allows for smooth turns and better weight distribution. This setup provides a strong, secure link, making it ideal for towing heavy loads over long distances while maintaining good maneuverability and stability.
