Backing up for a new RV driver

I observed, when doing a terrible job backing into my driveway with our new 5th wheel (Gulf Stream Prarie Schooner 2007) that the first set of wheels on the camper did not stay straight up and down.

I haven't seen many 5th wheelers park, and maybe I was cutting it too much, but should the front set of tires (2 axles) be angled as I turn? They came back to up and down at the end, but is this something to worry about - is it something that will break the axle or limit the life?

I'm pretty much a worrier, as you can see.

It's normal. It looks even worse when you have the wide track axle spacing. My TT tires had close to 1' between them as opposed to my 5er tires which are only 2-1/2" apart. Both look wacked out when turning. But the TT looked worse.
