crash course in 5th wheel hitches?

Good luck with your search. This was a lively discussion and some good info. I know from our shopping in this exact size range you can find the rig to fit your needs. Don't worry too much about the "you can never do it" crowd. Seems like you have done your homework and seem prepared.

Defiantly look at that Anderson Ultimate and save some weight if you can't go straight goose ball. Those are sure cool
