Look carefully. That is articulated in the middle just like a regular semi-trailer truck is. Turns should not be a problem, in my opinion.

I should have been more specific, sorry. With the super-long wheelbase of the tow vehicle (tractor?), with a long trailer behind that, tight turns would be very difficult.

Thanks to the OP for sharing!

Still see a few of those around in some older trailer parks. The end note says it all. Thanks

I wonder how that diving board works with a 5 1/2' pool depth? Ouch!:E

I love looking through old magazines. I have a whole big pile of them, I should read through them more often. Thanks for sharing.
