5th wheel would make more sense and turnable wheels in the center. Just doesn't show that way in the picture but I seem to recall having seen a better picture of that setup which did.
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

I was in Arizona last month and I was camped next to a 1985 Airstream Diesel Puller, that was prime condition!

I did see a better picture of it on some antique RV blog a couple years ago.

Does that count?

It looks like the "center" wheels turn as well or you would not need that clearance area.
