To convert your 5th Wheel over to gooseneck and still buy some space I recommend using the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset - 12" to 16" Tall part # CAB-C5GX1216 . This will convert you over and move your connection point back 7 1/2" buying you some extra room for your cornering concerns.
I would still use caution when maneuvering but this will get you back further and allow for a lot more maneuvering room. I've added a link to the product page and a video for you to check out. Happy Towing!
