But ask your self this, how many semis have you seen using a gooseneck?

Semis (tractor/trailers) use a hitch that does not articulate side to side.
It will do more damage to a 5th wheel (RV) trailer than a gooseneck.

And no 5th wheel manufacturer has a disclaimer stating that their units can only be used with side pivot hitches. Also if this was a serious issue, then the semis would have side pivot hitches as well to prolong the life of those aluminum box trailers. Got any details?
