Can you explain the differences between bumper pull, deck over, gooseneck, and fifth wheel trailers?

A bumper pull trailer is a type of trailer that is towed behind a vehicle using a receiver and hitch. It features fenders that cover each rated axle and tire set. This trailer type can have either a standard axle or a drop axle which sits lower than a deck over trailer. A deck over trailer, another type of bumper pull trailer, is designed such that the axles and tires are positioned under the deck and trailer frame, raising the overall height. This type lacks fenders. Both types of trailers use a receiver hitch and commonly use a ball size of 2-5/16" for the hitch. A gooseneck trailer is towed by sliding the coupler over the ball and hitch, which is positioned over the rear axles of the towing vehicle's rear bed. A fifth wheel trailer, on the other hand, is towed in a manner similar to a commercial semi-truck and trailer, where the fifth wheel attaches using a hinge plate over the rear axles of the towing vehicle's rear bed. Both these trailers feature a main bottom deck and an upper top deck for additional space and storage. The choice between a gooseneck or fifth wheel trailer and a bumper pull or deck over trailer often depends on the need for a larger unit size and improved towing and turning radius.
