Any of you ever use a 5th Wheel Dolly like this?

I'm talking about something more like this!

Funny how the topic from a hand dolly that helps you park you trailer in tight spaces to a tow Dolly that is basically what big rigs use to tow the 2nd trailer when towing duals.

The one you guys are talking about towing a 5th wheel with out mounting a 5th wheel.
The original post was referring to A HAND DOLLY that allows you to park your trailer into a tight spot by hand without a truck.

This 5th wheel You guys are changing my topic to in NO WAY would make backing my 5th wheel trailer into a tight spot that I may not be able to do hooked up to a truck.

In fact would likely make it impossible!

A brand called "Automated Safety Hitch", actually makes a lot nicer one than this one shown here. It is heavier built, and has a ton of nice features. They are very popular in this part of the country and used on both gooseneck and fifth wheel setups.

How much do these things cost?

Have been wishing for something like this. I have to back around a corner and up about a 20 degree sloped driveway into a level RV shed.
Hard to do, for me, but I bet that dolly could not handle the 20 degree slope and trying to control the 14000 pounds of weight. Probably the RV would end up in my neighbors house.

I wonder how much the hitch weight would typically be of a 30 footer?

Last night while trying to sleep all these ideas were running through my head.

Could I get an old beater golf cart & mount a 5th wheel on it to move it around?
Or would simply collapse the golf cart?
Or could I pick up one of the tiny fork lifts cheap?

Open to ideas

If the one that Ivylog gave the link to is not commercially available, I suppose I could get one fabricated for me?

a good figure is 20% of the total weight. for the tongue weight

Did any of you look at the video link he provided??? Since you cannot seem to copy and past, Click here. He's not wanting to tow his 5er, he's wanting to move it around.:S
