Sidewinder

In 2019 we were at a campground in North Carolina and they had a storage area for campers. On one of my walks I snapped the photo below because I'd never seen a "Sidewinder" fifth wheel king pin before.... ever. I did do some internet searching and found out they are (or were) a fifth wheel hitch option. I've never seen another one since, but I've always wondered how they work out when actually towing? Considering they have 2 pivot points, I think backing up would be a real challenge.

Thoughts on this anyone? Has anyone ever had one, used one? How did it work out?

Just curious... Yes, it's Sunday, it's dark and dreary in Indiana today, I'm board and was just going through my old photos and stumbled across this one. So, thought I'd just throw it out there for discussion.
