Will fifth wheel front hit truck back window?

I have a long bed and my Voltage will not hit the window.

The very first thing I did when taking delivery of my current 5er, and all of my previous 3 TT's, was to pull forward, hitched, and make a right and left turn as sharp as the truck would go and then notice now close (all my) trailer would come to making contact with the truck. Moving in a forward direction, I found out immediately, I could turn the steering wheel all the way, make a complete circle and (all) my trailers would not make contact or jack knife.

Now... backing up??? ... absolutely possible to both jack knife and make contact with TT's and 5ers.

Now ... if the tail gait is down on the truck and I attempt to make a turn with the 5er... um.... NO! It will hit without making much of a turn. Watch those open tail gaits when re-positioning into a campsite and hitching at an angle. I almost did that a couple times, but stopped right before contact occurred. THAT shook me up a bit!

It's not as simple as checking/testing on a flat parking lot.
If the ground is uneven the trailer or truck could pitch or tilt and create contact in a close turn situation.

Certainly not true.
OP; Much depends on any combos particulars....
hitch location
how much the trailers front corners are rounded/notched...
how long is the trailers pin box....
all can be players in cab to front corner clearances.

Normal forward driving...hard turn-----NO

Flip tight 'U' Turn-----possible

Backing up & jack knifing truck/trailer....tight manuvering ----VERY possible

Situation would occur at slow speeds so PAY ATTENTION

I think I would certainly find out. Go out into a large parking lot and slowly start making tighter and tighter turns while keeping a close eye on the front cap of your fifth wheel. You will then know for sure.

If you go far enough yes, regardless of 5th wheel or truck.
