Fifth Wheel or Goose Neck

Tell me... how is a fifth wheel trailer attached to a TV? From what I see... there is what? a 2" pin which is welded to a plate which in turn is welded to the frame. Now that same 2" pin has all the forces acting on it first which then translates to the "plate" then the "frame". Tell me how having that same 2" pin "attached" to the TV either via a "fifth wheel" or via "gooseneck hitch" translates to a "broken frame" or "delaminated walls" or "twisted frame"? Older "fifth wheel" hitches don't have that "side to side" movement, how many frames, sidewalls etc. were effected with the side to side motion? Seems to me, regardless the "hitch" setup, that 2" pin while in motion is going to twist, move up and down with the movement of the TV, if violent enough, that 2" pin is going to transfer the forces from the TV to the "pin plate" and then to the "frame". Porpusing, while cruising 60-80mph down the highway no matter what setup one has is going to cause damage. The trailer is being pulled and the TV motions are being transferred through a 2" pin period! Engineering shmeering!! How many bolts hold the wings on a Boeing 737? Wanna guess?

Why don't you give us your answer to your last question, so that those of us that know the correct answer can see if you are just blowing smoke. I fail to see the relevance of comparing an airliner wing attachment to a goose neck -vs- 5th wheel discussion.
