The fifth-wheel coupling provides the link between a semi-trailer and the towing truck, tractor unit, leading trailer or dolly.

Some camper trailers use a fifth-wheel configuration, requiring the coupling to be installed in the bed of a pickup truck as a towing vehicle, and "fifth wheel" is therefore sometimes used as a synonym for such campers in North America.

The coupling consists of a kingpin, a steel pin on the front of the semi-trailer, and a horseshoe-shaped coupling device called a fifth wheel on the rear of the towing vehicle.

The surface of the semi-trailer (with the kingpin at the center) rotates against the surface of the fixed fifth wheel, which does not rotate.

To reduce friction, grease is applied to the surface of the fifth wheel.

The configuration is sometimes called a turn-table in Australia and New Zealand, especially if it is a rotating ball-race-bearing type.

The advantage of this coupling is improved towing stability.

A travel trailer, camper trailer or caravan is towed behind a road vehicle to provide a place to sleep which is more comfortable and protected than a tent (although there are fold-down trailer tents).

It provides the means for people to have their own home on a journey or a vacation, without relying on a motel or hotel, and enables them to stay in places where none is available.

However, in some countries campers are restricted to designated sites for which fees are payable.

A recreational vehicle (RV) is, in North America, the usual term for a motor vehicle or trailer equipped with living space and amenities found in a home.

Several definitions exist for RVs and vary by region, including "camper van", "caravan", and "motorhome", but are also used to designate different types of vehicles outside North America, hence "RV" is preferred.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.

A toy is an item that is generally used for children's play.

Playing with toys is supposed to be an enjoyable means of training young children for life in society.

Different materials like wood, clay, paper, and plastic are used to make toys.

Many items are designed to serve as toys, but goods produced for other purposes can also be used.

For instance, a small child may fold an ordinary piece of paper into an airplane shape and "fly it.".
