Definitions
A fifth wheel is a type of hitch used to connect a trailer to a towing vehicle, typically found in larger vehicles like trucks and recreational vehicles. It allows for greater stability and maneuverability when towing, as it is mounted over the rear axle of the towing vehicle. Additionally, the term 'fifth wheel' can also refer to a person who is considered unnecessary or unwanted in a social situation, particularly when they are accompanying a couple.
