fifth wheels
Tagalongs nobody needs
A fifth wheel is a coupling device that connects a tractor to a semi-trailer, mounted over the rear axle.
The term extends to travel trailers that attach to pickup trucks via a similar hitch in the truck bed.
Figuratively, a fifth wheel is someone or something superfluous—unwanted or unnecessary: I felt like a fifth wheel at their couples' dinner.
