With whatever you end up with and do, when you hitch up the very first time, make your first turn and determine exactly how sharp the turn can be before the trailer makes contact with the cab. Then sear that memory in your mind and when backing or turning forward, you never come close to that point.

When I got my last 3 campers, this is the very first thing I did. I did learn, pulling forward with my fifth wheel, I could turn the steering wheel all the way, left or right, and the trailer never made contact with the cab. I also learned immediately where the trailer tires tracked with making such a turn.

Do this first, and you'll be fine, no matter what equipment you finally settle on, or how it's installed.

Good luck. Have fun. Congrats on the new camper!
