Sliding 5th wheel or stationary??

I doubt it would lower my resale value since it is still going to be setup to go back to a air slider at any point. Right now the one that is on there is useless since I cannot rebuild it and they do not make a replacement for it. As far as the sleeper it works fine for regional applications. 5 days on the road in a flat-top is no big deal. I actually prefer a smaller cab and sleeper. Those big condo's make to much noise and too many squeaks going down the road and are horrible in windy conditions. But everybody has their likes and dislikes. I don't need to be able to do jumping jacks in my sleeper. It's called a sleeper for a reason, it's for sleeping. The condo's are called that for a reason, cuz the driver who has one usually lives in it for weeks at a time on the road. No thanks

 

Unless it is a Volvo. Then they sell for big bucks because the eastern Europeans fight over them like crazy. Then they pull containers with the light up Michelan man on the visors lol.

 

Going to a stationary I would shave off about 50# according to Fontaines website. If I went with an aluminum plate I would save another 125#.

 

Yeah, with my tanks full and all my equipment I am at 22,000 bobtail. I can scale 45,000# on a 13,000# step.
