The military wanted a flat floor. With a rv slide out this is not easy to accomplish.

There is a considerable amount of slop between the ISO twist locks and the corner fittings. This is done to facilitate easier loading. This slop could cause a huge shock load with the fifth wheel module. Some of this could be eliminated by making custom aperture plates. I need to have some...

Any more information on you module idea? Are you going to leave the fifth wheel and put the containers on top of it? I have a 10 foot refrigerated container that I have been thinking about converting to a small rv to mount in my tractor.

The springs are correctly orientated for the application. As the weight is applied the springs compress on each other. If you reversed them all of the load would be on the clamps and they would fail.

I think Croft has the parts for the hitch

How does the front wheel drive work without a transfer case?

If the trailer requires 100 psi to release the spring brakes then there is a problem. The spring brakes should release about 60 psi. The air compressor cut in pressure can be set as low as 85 psi.

The lunette allows more articulation than a ball hitch. Off road, or even on the road, the coupler can pop off the ball but I have never had a problem with a lunette coming apart. If you look at big trucks they use lunettes. I also find it easier to hook up a lunette. I always spend time...

It looks like you could bolt it to the face of the existing bumper

I am suffering from crane envy.

Like the Canadian trucks have?

That is an interesting suspension. Does it use leaf springs, coils or torsion bars?

The goal off road is to keep all the wheels in contact with the ground. Most vehicles use a combination of frame flex and suspension travel. On a production vehicle they use a combination of the two. If you make the frame super rigid you need to provide a lot suspension travel. This large...

I like your mud flaps If I remember correctly they also make a retractable mount.

The last couple I have seen in CA were doing 55. I have seen single trucks, or small groups, going much faster.

I have seen two types if fifth wheel rv trailer hitches. The one you are referring to that uses a ball and the other one uses a small fifth wheel.

The DMV computer will not accept it until the vehicle is 26 years old per the historic vehicle unit in Sacramento.
