Once I am fully jacknifed, I routinely spin my 31' on its tires with the
pullrite from a standing stop. I can look thru the trailer's windows from side
thru side if the curtains are open.  it is virtually identical to using a 5er
hitch.

real problem is making sure that the tail of the trailer does not swipe
something as it swings.
iow, if I need to turn around, I just get in the left lane of a 4 lane and do my
thing.  
n.b. - I have always hated backing that sob and will not miss that in the least.
I can live with wider turn arounds.

the 34' should be just as easy (WITH A PULLRITE!) but not with the standard
hitch.

fwiw
