I think the advice "wait until the last axle clears" is pretty good rule of thumb. I'm very paranoid about the back end swing ever since I made a tight left turn and the back right of the rig smacked a parked car. I was pretty inexperienced then but it was an expensive lesson to learn. Now DW spots for me if I'm not sure or I may get out two or three times to check myself.

So 5th wheel hauling is new to me. Hauled plenty of trailers but never with a 5th wheel.
1. When at a gas station, pulling up to the pump on my left, making a right hand turn when leaving, how far away from the pump do you guys park to keep the rear of the trailer from knocking over the pump as it swings to the left when you turn to drive off?
2. When making right hand turns, how do you guys judge when to actually make the turn to keep from running over the curb? Someone said to make sure the last axle has cleared before turning? (mine has 3 axles)
3. I can hear/feel a bump/bang when I brake and start, coming from the trailer. I've checked the 5th wheel that was installed on my truck and everything is tight and locked down, there is no play at the kingpin that I can see. Nothing is rolling around loose inside the trailer. Is it possible that the arm that the kingpin is attached to, has some play?
4. 460 hours on an Onan 5500 doesn't sound like a lot. How many hours before I can expect to repair/replace it?
5. I'm having a camera installed on the top rear of the trailer with a microphone and the radio in my truck replaced with one that has a screen so I can hear/see whomever is helping me back up. The guy I hired wants to sell me 2 or 4 more cameras on the sides but I don't see them as necessary. Any reason I should consider them anyway?

4. 460 hours on an Onan 5500 doesn't sound like a lot. How many hours before I can expect to repair/replace it?
5. I'm having a camera installed on the top rear of the trailer with a microphone and the radio in my truck replaced with one that has a screen so I can hear/see whomever is helping me back up. The guy I hired wants to sell me 2 or 4 more cameras on the sides but I don't see them as necessary. Any reason I should consider them anyway?
