I want a 5th Wheel/TH about 38' long, and I'm debating whether to build from scratch (on a drop deck trailer) or buy a cheap, used 5th Wheel/TH and tear it down to the "foundation" and rebuild. (I've given up the idea of moving prefab walls, and I want a structure that will support a rooftop deck.) Any advice?
What chassis would you recommend? Three axles much better than two? Newer Thor or Forest River better than older Nu Wa, Newmar or Travel Supreme? What should I be most focused on?

Trust me, it's a lot of work!
