Going to a parking lot with a piece of chalk is all you need to do. And you can leave the 5th wheel at home. Since the 5th wheel's tires turn inside the arc of the truck's tires, it is the turning radius of the truck that defines the minimum diameter you need.
I was thinking that too, but was wondering if the sharp turn may bring the 5er nose near the truck cab.
Good point. The OP will need to take that into consideration. Also, since he's going to build a road, he will need the 5th wheel hooked up to determine how wide the road will need to be. It will have to be wider (a lot wider) than just the turn marked by the truck.
