I'm the guy who built the fifth wheel. Just to answer the ringing question...
This was no kit, I built it from nothing, engineering, building, the whole enchilada... I am a IT Director at a large transportation company, I have never worked in the RV biz, nor do I know anyone who does. I just got a harebrained idea around the campfire, and did it. I bought every last piece of it a RV surplus building material stores, one in Hudson, MI one in Sturgis MI, and one in Elkhart, IN. I consider myself a average Joe.

All I can say is boy gots skillz!
And some stones to just up and take on a project of that size and cost knowing little about it. Very well done. I must admit I was a little skeptical, until I saw your site. Pretty handy guy you seem to be.
I'll give ya a call when I am ready to build my new shop!

some of the best things ever built were hand made, people say no F'N way until they seen it for real, there was a guy on FullSizeBronco.com that built a EXACT replica of a hummer body out of aluminum, tig welded it all together, only thing he didnt build on the whole truck was the hood and set it on a F350 chassis. anyone can do anything as long as you got determination and set your mind to it.
