That is good if you only drive on flat highways, might have a problem if you go over a R&R track!

Plus when it's attached to the back of your RV it is more like a hinge, vertical articulation happens, no problem with railroad tracks.

Years ago they clamped onto your car bumper but I don't think a RV bumper would be strong enough for that unless it was reinforced or the swivel trailer was hooked to the frame. Do a Google search for "building a swivel wheel trailer", I saw lots of posts, a few of them had domain problems and wouldn't let you see photos.
