Second guessing myself on a semi 5th wheel

That's why I'm having a shop do the trailer so they can certify it. The 1st sentence in my 1st post was saying I have a shop that will do my trailer mods.

 

Dude.. He did exactly what you can't do.. He cut the frame in half in 2 places and rewelded it and wasn't an authorized shop that can re-certify it and he had his DOT number plastered all over his videos. I already saw the video and I knew he was gonna get in trouble putting that #### on youtube..

My trailer mod that I'm having "A TRAILER SHOP DO" doesn't even get into cutting the frame.. The gooseneck is getting shortened and replaced with a different design that I've come up with. The trailer will be recertified by the "Professional trailer builder" I'm using who has built trailers for our local county mosquito control office among many, many other places for the last 30 years.

The shop actually builds flat deck trailers so umm yeah they know what they are doing. They just aren't a big name but have been in business for over 30 years. And yes.. they are even certified to DOT inspect their own trailers...

For example.. this is a trailer they just built to order for a different customer.. so you don't have to worry, I have qualified guys who are gonna do the mod..




The world isn't gonna stop spinning because I'm having a professional shop do some modifications to a trailer I bought and own. The DOT isn't going to send the drones out to blow up my house because I have some trailer work done by a shop....

 

It will be fixed. I will drill extra holes in the mounting brackets so I have the ability to move it forward or to the rear a few positions if I need to but doing it requires unbolting every thing to slide it all so wouldn't be anything I'd do on the fly just if I find I'm generally heavy on 1 axle or the other.

 

Well let us see, we have 2 pages of guys crying about the trailer mod and only 2 guys who actually replied to what the post is about.
