Side note, when cutting metal, most of the time it's faster and easier to use a sawzall.

I might give that a try, I didn't even consider that due to the welds and size of the metal..... I feel dumb

My 31 foot is just as bad but much lighter than yours Dripley. :whistle2:

Even if I down size I think I would stick with the fifth wheel but you never. You are right about the weight. I am right at 15k

i love my 5th wheel, not sure i could ever go back to a bumper pull travel trailer. mine was sold as a 33', but measures 34.4

all told loaded with everthing we use to camp for a week, the UTV side by side, 120Gallon water and food, firewood, yada yada. i'm just under 13K. but had been over 14K once. it tows like a dream. winds don't bother it. lots of room for wife and 2 kids n a dog. and a 4 seater Can-Am Commander UTV. mpg's are nice too. usually around 10-12 pending how fast i go.

Dont get me wrong I like a fifth wheel. Mines about 15k loaded. It handles well. The 13' of height will catch some wind but no white knuckles driving it and I average 11 mpg. I try for 65 and under. Just bigger than I want now.

i have a plasma cutter that i think I've used 4 times. rest of time it's a sawzall. it's faster and cleaner than firing the cutter up. just  a few blades. 

The oscillation plunge cutter works wonders in hard to reach places. I couldn't get a sazall blade to get in there when cutting off some welded in Air Bags. Welded to the goose neck frame it buzzed them right off. Nice and loud though:ahhh:

 

Nick is your son name Arizona? :lol3:

 

 

 

Dripley, is it true a fifth wheel helps save marriages? I heard cause a guy has a pretty good place to go to when goin gets rough.:poke::bolt:

not yet,  I had the plywood from the floor so I wanted to use up the scrap.  still not even sure where the tank will sit.

Keep it simple.  Put a shelf above the sink for a 5 gallon water jug.  The water supply could be gravity fed and you wouldn't need a pump.
