I would venture to say if it is loaded right with weight properly distributed,and driven sanely there is not much difference. Now if you look at those car haulers. Not the pickup with a wedge trailer on it but the old original car haulers their fifth wheel is down behind the frame near where the tail lights ware. So does that make it safer just because it is a fifth wheel. As for the comment about the gooseneck being less safe than a fifth wheel. I would venture to say they are more likely to be forgotten about the latching, after it has been set down over the ball. Or the ball set down in to the socket. So the need for the safety chains. Where as the fifth wheel latches as you connect them up. Still a need to be pulled gently on to check that it latched. The insane part is the pins on these fifth wheel pins for campers and such are the same or very close to it as a semi has. Seems like it would not need nearly the same size for a camper as the semi. then again the pin is the same size for a gravel train as for a van box trailer another scary thought. One is 80,000 the other 160,000 twice the weight.
