I can't see the picture well enough, but I really don't think that wold work. Even if there is room for the car and the fifth wheel hitch, the turning radius of the rig would be hampered. Or am I just not understanding this?

There's a ton of those cars running around here, my favorite one has a plate on it that says "DUMBCAR" cracks me up every time I see it!

we did that every day to the principles VW for a week after he kicked us out of the parking lot for doing burnouts.
he made us promise to stop if he let us park in the lot again. we told him we did not do it, but would warn everyone not to do it again.
that afternoon before he left to go home, we picked the car up, brought it inside the school, and set it down in front of his office door so he did not have to walk outside in the rain to get in his car.

They were kinda cool, for the techo-geeks of the 50's and 60's. IMHO they were the original smart car AND kit car all in one very dangerous, highly unregulated and crazyasbatcrap too!

yup, the kings came with a 9 hp wisconsin engine, and were either belt or chain driven with a top speed of 35 mph. and at 20 you felt like you were going to die.
i swear, as a kid i had some home made go-carts i welded together with crap out of the scrap pile that felt safer than a king!!!
