Yes, you CAN tow a fifth-wheel.

If you put your hands very close to the bend in the crowbar, you aren't likely going to remove that nail. If you get out towards the end of the crowbar, your odds go up significantly. Now, instead of moving your hands, lets move that pin on the trailer further away from the bend, errrrrr axle.

If you would like me to, I'll run some quick sketches with some numbers (just for fun numbers) to see just how much moving the pin 6 inches forward on the trailer would affect the tongue weight seen by the fifth-wheel hitch in the back of the pickup.

Keep in mind, this might take me a day or two.... I gotta freshen up on some skills I haven't used in a day or two. lol

That's ok, no need to go that far. I got ya now. I couldn't put it all together at the end of a Friday. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.
