What was that hitch called?
There is a hitch system that mounts underneath the truck, which has a long swinging drawbar mounted underneath the truck. The trailer is attached rigidly to the long drawbar, which puts the pull point...

Wow, that would be a nightmare towing in tight areas.
I couldn't even find a video.
Where does this nightmare come from? For most drivers, a long trailer, compared to length of TV is easier to maneuver. But most times a 4 foot longer trailer will increase overall length by 4 feet.
This hitch acts as a tongue extension, of about 4 ft IIRC, but the OAL only increases about a foot. (The extra long distance ball to bumper)
A uncle, from the time I could remember until he could no longer buy them would every 2 years trade in a 4 YO Vista Cruiser and have one installed. The new 1 was his sales car thru the week. Weekends and vacations one pulled boat, other TT. I don't remember aunt having any issues in tight places.
As a farm hand, I would laugh at the way he would hook up. He would swing the ball all the way to the left side of station wagon so could see it in mirror. Drop coupler on ball, and pull forward until TT/TV in straight line, finish hooking up.
