To link a Fifth Wheel you need a converted car with a flatbed. Under the body will be built a subframe to the chassis. The subframe can vary by car brand and type.
The bowl of the coupling lies in the support frame under the body. In the photos, this is clearly visible. By coupling instead of a “dish”, therse’s no torque on the chassis of the car. To convert, a 13 pin connector is required for connection of the electrical braking system of the Fifth Wheel.
