Batman,
A 5th wheel is a type of travel trailer that attaches to a hitch similar to a big rig inside the truck bed . Instead of to a hitch behind the vehicle. A truckbed can only handle so much weight on the axle. Usually a 3/4 ton truck, diesel or dually is used to pull this type of trailer (F250, F350). Some 5th wheels are light enough (hitch/pin weight) to be attached and pulled by a 1/2 ton truck. (Titan, F150, Tundra ect. size vehicle) If you have ever seen a trailer that overhangs the truck bed, you have seen a 5th wheel.
