Why did you put a 5th wheel extension so far behind the axle?? With such a short wheelbase (for a Semi), wouldn't that make the steering feel light??
My sisters L8000 had the trailer sit right over the axle. She had the truck where it would use either a 5th wheel or gooseneck.

Wow, that's quite a setup and an interesting hitch setup. Based on the places I been with a outfit like yours I'm sure I would of taken out a few trees and several tenters.

2003 Honda Civic Hybrid with a 5spd I mainly tow a Wazat teardrop camper by http://microlitetrailer.com/ . I get about 30-35MPG while towing and 50 MPG the rest of the time. The car is geared very high for fuel mileage, so 60MPH in 4th gear has me sitting comfortably at 3,000 RPMs.

I think it's funny to have it back-to-back with the rig immediately above it LOL

I love it...and it really gets some looks around other campers, most of whose toads are bigger than my TV.
