I pull my fifth wheel camper on occasion with my tractor but it’s a single axel with the fifth wheel set just forward of the axel.
I have way more turning room than I can use.
In fact I have more turning room with the tractor then I do when I have my dually under it.
I would think it would work unless you have really long frame overhang passed your rear tandem.

 

Too many variables in truck builds. Your going to have to carefully hook up with a spotter, and turn it around a parking lot. Keep in mind that inclines/declines can have a huge effect on gaps. So make sure you have a solid 8-12 inches.

 

Ask the seller to take a measuring tape from the pin to the wall and measure your own from 5th wheel center to the corner of your mudflap hanger.

I took a quick measurement on my fifth wheel camper and it’s 75 1/2 inches from the center of the king pin to the front of the camper.
I’m not sure if that measurement is standard on all campers or not.
Hope this helps.

 

You can always get a pin box extension if there is not enough clearance. Of course they cost between $500-$1,000 depending on 5th wheel.

You will also need a converter for your pigtail. That's easy to make or even buy for less than $50.

Big one for me though is you don't want that 5th wheel pictured. You are not able to stand up in the bed area as the roof is too low. When I got my 5th wheel I thought it would not be a problem, just walk down the steps to dress. Well, it's a royal pain to deal with. I'm looking for another camper for that reason alone.
