Hitching and unhitching a 5th wheel

I'm a newbie camper 3yrs. I'm thinking of getting a 5th wheel. I have a dumb question to ask. Can 5th wheels be hitched and unhitched from the side?

  • I am not sure what the question is. You will stand beside the truck to pull the release lever and disconnect the break away cable. Disconnect the electrical cord, lower the tailgate(unless you have a flow through) and pull away. Reverse the procedure for hooking up.
