Fifth wheel dolly?

[Flapper]

Anyone make a power, castering dolly similar to those sold for trailers that can be used on fifths? The better half is house hunting, and while we've seen some interesting properties, only a few have potential for parking the fifth next to the house - but then the angles, etc. to get it in place preclude using the truck without major lawn damage every time it goes in/out. Would not consider a place with any kind of a slope, but it would open options if there was a way to turn it 90 degrees or so, and then back it up 1- 1&1/2 lengths.

Power Caster at one time had a 5th wheel adapter but I don't see it listed on their website.

I did find this video with a DIY adaptor. Maybe a welding shop could fabricate one for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dJjPry-Ko4

I had always planned to get a used forklift if I had a need to move the 5th wheel into a tight space. I've seen many of them on Craigslist for under $6000 and as low as $3000 in working condition.

I often wondered if one of the 4X4 ATVs like the Honda Fourtrax could be adapted to carry the pin weight and provide the ability to move a 5th wheel short distances on slightly un-level ground. I realize based on the specs for the ATV the 5th wheel is far too heavy but I once towed a 1 1/2 ton truck up a slight hill for over a block with my 1977 Honda Civic to get the truck out of traffic. It was quite a sight too see.

How much are you willing to pay? I know of a guy who purchased an old forklift. He moves his 5th wheel all around just like they do at dealership lots and service centers. Easy and maneuverable.

Here's an example and they can be had even cheaper if you look. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/hvo/5127028382.html
