WOW!!! Build Your Own 5th Wheel
 

Check this out. Guy builds his own 5th wheel.

home-boy's got skillz....

That was awesome.

This had to be some kind of prefab kit, this guy and his buddies work at an RV manufacturing plant and do this by trade or this guy's a damn genius. I would find it hard to believe that one guy could have this skills to do all the work to build this from scratch. I've also never seen a ready built RV trailer stripped down unless he pulled it from salvage. This guy would have to be a master craftsman in Aluminum Welding, Carpentry, Plumbing, Electrical, Electronics, HVAC, lamination and cabinetry just as a starting list of trades that this would cover.

I agree. I dont doubt the guy has skills, but some of that stuff is camper only. I havent ever seen that stuff on the shelves of any store. he has connections.

still, it is very impressive.

I wonder if the cost of the trailer was in that $9,300 total cost

that's very cool. even if it is a prefab kit i don't think i'd have the skills or patience to pull it off like he did.

i would screw that up in no time!

he did a nice job!

Yeah I tend to agree. There's no way he had all the skill, knowledge, and access to the right parts to build that rig as good as the factory.

I like changing my oil, tinkering with my truck, changing starters & alternators as much as the next guy but this is a little extreme for the do-it yourselfer.

How many months did this take? I like the idea of custom built, but this doesnt make a lot of sense to me.

i just checked out his WEBSITE. this dude's no joke and it doesn't look like he's afraid of tackling anything.
