any one think they could do this

what puts me of fifth wheeler is non standard coupling, unless built around
regular commercial tractor unit. after all your tug breaks down, where are
you going to get say another navara with fiver built in. plus manouvering
all down to keeping it coupled, have parking legs these trailers so no option
to have a motor mover on trailer's wheels, not that i have on our 'van any
way.

think waste of pickup bed too, compared to storage afforded by a proper
truck cap, akin to a shed on truck if toying with semi full timing.

nah stick with trol and 20' twin axle, though like to get 'vans plated
weight increased as its ratio to trol is so low could drag a lot more crap
in van then legally.

Hows that Pete let that little trailer drop down side of hill then yank it back up again
being empty it did look a bit toy like compared to truck. did it not have any brake
lines fitted either.

got me thinking now would like to try that sort of trailer, or regular trailers on troll
on bit of land see how they handle, maybe couple of army sankey trailers sure
they often have a nato pintle on rear, to create a land train....and 2 together
wont be a as long my tin tent hehe.

Bloody amazing!!! Always had massive respect for the blokes that can get wagon & drags into tight spots, let alone that!
I once tried reversing my mates articulated bale trailer into his farm yard, has one of those fifth wheel dollys and it absolutely baffled me

same here, used to have some Brittains toy/model tractors and stuff as kid, loved playing
shunt but this one drag type trailer was always a disaster.

I used to play with those, and still collect them!!!

I know which trailer you mean too, the green and red one with floppy draw bar and 8 wheels

You want to buy a huge collection of obsolete ones?
