I could have switched over to a JOST or HOLLAND for $2,000 or do what I did and spend less than half. I thought it was a good idea, plus now if I go back to RGN all I have to do is remove the bolts and it's back to where it was. -

Or just get higher pedestals for the 5th wheel.

With my bags dropped, it sits at 43" high, so I should not have an issue. -

SHC,
You have a gorgeous looking set-up there. I'd like to see a photo with both the tractor and tank.
