[A/S] Turning/Backing Radius



I have a question about backing a coach into an awkward parking spot. 
The backing radius (angle between the tow vehicle and the trailer) is 
limited by how sharp a turn the trailer can make without the tow vehicle 
bumper hitting the front corner of the trailer. Believe me I know. Since 
there's less overhang past the front wheels with a front mounted 
auxiliary hitch, would you be able to make sharper turns or less sharp 
turns backing the trailer with a front hitch compared to the rear hitch?
