Problem with 5th wheels is they are designed like a teeter-totter with the fulcrum (wheels) in the middle of the trailer. Of course it's not going to be a smooth ride, what with the crappy roads we travel on. We need to have the wheels in the back like the semi's but then our trucks wouldn't be able to handle the high tongue weight. We can come up with all kinds of bandaid fixes but they don't address the real problem of axle placement.
