Just curious Larry, how often do goose neck hitches fail?

I didn't know this was a concern. I had always heard that fifth wheel
hitches had the problem that it put lots of strain on the truck and trailer
when on uneven ground due to the lack of flexibility laterally. I would
think that this would be a concern in horse / stock trailers when you try to
turn around on hilly ground. I also liked the fact that a goose neck hitch
can be pulled in seconds but a fifth wheel hitch took time to pull.
