I hear lots of people talking about "pulling xxx# weight" but we almost never hear any mention how long it will take to stop that train at 65 mph. If you want to know the answer to that I would suggest finding a flat straight empty road and try some hard stops at 30 mph then up the speed by 5 mph.
Maybe an empty stadium parking lot would be safer location. Don't know if we ever see accidents with 5th wheel trailers caused by acceleration. Almost always the accident is caused by sway or jackknife when trying to stop.
