Most times a 5th wheel is 'DROPPED' onto bed of truck........truck bed/sidewalls take a lot of damage and 5vr overhang just has cosmetic damage to front/sides.
Actual damage to pin box/overhang frame area is unusual from being dropped.
Pin box/frame damage does occur but that is typically due to poor mfg. methods/lousy welds/incompetent welders.
Overhang panel (under neath area) would have to be removed to inspect for any pin box/frame damage.....but chances are good just cosmetic to aluminum/trim
Just curious......
Workcamping is OK for getting a free camp site but do you have an income to cover monthly bills/needs? We didn't work camp cause we didn't want to just park and live in an RV....we traveled.
We FTd for 7 yrs. GREAT Adventure/Wonderful Lifestyle BUT does take a monthly income/source PLUS that 'special fund' >>>>>>> JUST IN CASE FUND
Good luck!!
