    Does any of you all know if there's a way to tow two cars one way 900 miles behind my bobtail? If a goose neck trailer (rental) is use will that hook up to my KW fifth wheel? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Fifth wheel goose necks use the same size kingpin as class 8 trucks.

    While that's true, the problem isn't the pin size, it is the load plate that is too small for the semi fifth wheel and won't be safe to use.

    A better solution is to just get a trailer without a fifth wheel and put a hitch on the back of the truck, they make two car trailers with both ball and pintle hitches that will work. I prefer pintle hitches
