There's a bid difference between a 53' van and a 40' 5th wheel. I have never had a time I needed 90* to put my 5th wheel anywhere and that is including spots that are 90* to the drive.The 280" wheel base on the tractor in the video also makes a difference in the need of 90*.
And then there's the one early comment that's off-topic and totally unnecessary.
Good video!

Found this on YouTube- Thought it may be handy to visualize how the trailers are moving while making maneuvers and backing.
This is an arial view of a tractor trailer turning and backing. The first 6 minutes are so are with the tandem axles in their most forward position... While still further back than most TT and Fivers it is closest to demonstrating how our towable RV's move while backing and maneuvering.
Note: The 90 degree turn is displayed and you can see the trailer tires scrubbing sideways... This may help people see how effective it is to get to 90 degrees with a truck and fiver.

The music is terrible (like elevator music) so you may want to hit mute.
Thanks!
