The tongue weight on the back of that tow vehicle must be something like negative 237 lbs.!!! I'm surprised the rear wheels are even touching the ground.

Where's higway patrol when you need them?
Being a fiver with what appears to be a large slide out, I'd expect pin weight to be 700# or more. Flip it around and looking at the difference in overhang, I wouldn't be surprised if theres nearly -700# of tongue weight on the truck.

I have seen an adapter to pull a fifth wheel forward with a bumper hitch. It was constructed from rectangle steel tube, it bolted to the frame under the main trailer came out had a hitch that hooked to the trailers king pin. Then the frame continued forward to an equalizing hitch on the rear of a one ton truck. It worked well but I thought it would have been simpler to have used a regular fifth wheel hitch on the truck. To each his own.
