If the cap is rounded, you should get by with a companion. It is adjustable up/down, as well as ahead/back.
We all need to pay attention, when turning, or backing. Even with a travel trailer, you can only turn/back so short.

I was out mocking up with a tape measure and 2x4's on the ground to determine at what point the cab would be in contact with my 5th wheel. Keep in mind, my truck is not here yet to do a more realistic mockup but I would think at 60-70 degrees is where the issues start to arise. Is 60 degrees realistic in the real world when backing up 5th wheels. Im sure its a dumb question but do you guys get your rigs into 60-70 degree turns as a matter of normal operation?
