    Do you need anything on the trailer to use that 5th wheel, or is it OK with a standard apron and king pin plate?

    I cleaned all the grease off the trailer except for the king pin. Other than that, it just is like any other 5th wheel. Lighter, but that make up for that in the price. $2,000 from 4 States.

    Not me. Couldn’t pay enough to pull one. I like my OPEN deck. Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely a place for them. I’ll not belittle or rip on anybody pulling one.

    Nice. Is it still accurate?

    Crashes aren't cheap. $60 for a brakeline and $90 for a bleeder kit.

    I haven’t tried it. I have the wooden grade stick that goes with it as well. Maybe I will play with it tomorrow.

    That looks sweet. That's what I think of when someone says Pete. Nice flat top with the straight stacks. J's or double J's would finish it off nice

    How a plan can go south in a hurry....

    I made a casual suggestion that the boys needed a dvd to watch since it's raining. Next thing I know they left me with three kids under six.

    The middle one is on the couch cause he wouldn't listen and his hollerin' woke up this one.

    If that's how your body reacts to hot temps, you would not enjoy living in a tropical country like Brasil and others in South America. :biggrin_25512: Maybe in Argentina...
