Question:

Normally how much of the trailer is over the truck bed. I have a 2015 chevy dually 8 foot bed. Looking at a fifth wheel that is 33 ft. trying to decide if to long for me to handle.

The distance that is typically over the bed of a truck is typically right at the distance of the center of the rear axle of the truck back to the bumper. If you measure that distance on your truck and subtract it from 33 feet you would know how much length would get added to your setup.
