Bought a 36' 5th wheel for 400$, pretty big DIY project

This thread will be very photo intensive! Just letting you know. Well, was looking for a good deal on a 5th wheel in the 2500$ range, something older, late 80s early 90s, and figured why spend that...

The work looks good. With all the extra weight you are adding you better plan on upgrading axles and wheels. If you plan on parking it someplace and living in it you will probably be alright. But I wouldn't think you will want to be dragging it around much.
