Lantley, good idea, I didn't think to check Hensley. The air ride is interesting, does it really improve the ride?
Regarding removal, maybe not plywood, but drywall...you pile a few sheets of drywall on top of a hitch and it won't look like much when you get it home. Also, DW is into restoring furniture...she's excited to have a truck vs. the old Suburban because she can bring home bigger stuff now... :R
I'm thinking an engine hoist make hitch removal easy, right?

I'm researching now for the inevitable move to a 5er. I'm planning on getting a Reese Goosebox. It allows you to swap out your traditional 5th wheel hitch on your camper with a model that is approved by Lippert to allow you to use a regular gooseneck ball in your bed. No hitch to install, move, store, get in the way... just a regular 2 5/16 hall.
It eliminates the traditional hitch in your bed and reduces or completely eliminates the chucking you get from a traditional 5th wheel hitch.

Gee I had no idea! Guess I have been removing and installing mine wrong all these years with me, myself and I.
That is because you are a MANS MAN Ron ! ! :B
I guess 35 years in Construction helps.
I didn’t work construction, and don’t have an issue removing my hitch including the heavy picture frame adapter. I just work at staying healthily and staying active.

The hoist is a good idea but needs a hard surface if you plan on rolling it around.
Some use a small elect hoist or a come-a-long dropped down from rafters in the garage.
My hitch is stored hanging from 12' tall truss ribs and a come-a-long in my trailer shed.
