We have a neighbor who is a newbie with a hitch I have never seen and I think is wrong.  I think this is a transport hitch arrangement.

I think this is just not right.  Can somebody help?

Please take a look at the hitch pictures I took below.

Ok, did some research on my own and found this is a rotating turret type 5th wheel hitch.  It is designed to pivot at the trailer and not at the king pin.  It actually locks the king pin.  It really looks wrong when you first look at it.   This allows the use of a short bed truck.  It seems it is for light trailers as this this one I am looking at.  It also seems this can be used either way, standard king pin rotation or trailer rotation.  

Now that I know I can un alarm the guy.  I never saw one of these before.

I'll leave this here for anybody else who has not seen one of these type pin boxes.
