Be careful of those turns.
My experience is that the 5th wheel follows more inboard of the truck, cutting the corners and requiring a wider turn of the truck.
Not only that, but you've got to watch for the a$$-end swinging wide. Personally, I make "square" turns, especially in town. Swing wide, then turn =hard=. Growing up farming, I got used to taking up more than one lane, even going straight, so when I'm towing in residential areas, I think nothing of swinging into the other lane to make a turn. On a multi-lane road, I'll take a lane and a half, if necessary, to swing wide enough. Going to my Dad's place, I simply take a less-traveled street to get there.
