What are Fifth wheel and Gooseneck?

Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck are terms which define the coupling method between the trailer or caravan and towing vehicle. A Fifth Wheel coupling for a caravan works in the same way as for the large semi-trailers used by large freight vehicles where the coupling is a kingpin which is located on the trailer. The hitch for Fifth Wheel (sometimes called a turntable) is located in the bed of the truck or Ute.
