Best place to sell Truck and fiver

It's beginning to look as if our fifth wheel days are over. My wife has severe arthritis and cannot sit in the truck for more than an hour at a time. You don't get very far in an hour!
Have been looking at the best way to sell the rig.
I can find all kinds of places to sell the truck OR the fifth wheel, but cannot find one that will list the combination.
It really would make the most sense for someone to buy the entire rig as it it fully equipped and ready to go.
Have tried to sell just the fiver on Ebay. Got a sale but the buyer has simply disappeared after I told him he was not going to show up with a 1/2 ton truck, drop the hitch in the back of his truck and drive away!! He did not realise there is a bit more to it than that!
Resale on a truck with the hitch, a 52 gal tank, brake controller, etc is very limited in a non-RV situation.
Any suggestions?
(Mods, obviously feel free to remove this if it crosses the line as far as advertising is concerned. I have deliberately made no mention of price. I really am looking for suggestions.)

Sold the fiver and looking for a DP, but not in any hurry right now.

I don't want to give up! I'm working on the wife to consider moving to a DP so she could get up and move around the odd time while we are on the road. This, plus the better ride and reduced engine noise. She has yet to be convinced!

Have tried Craig's list. They have a section for pickup trucks and they have a section for trailers.
I listed the entire rig in both and got told I could not do that!!
Ebay is the same thing. I listed it in Camper trailers with a pic of the truck, saying I would sell the trailer on its own, but not the truck alone (as I would than have no way to move the trailer).
Ebay nuked my listing, (after I got a fake bid on the trailer alone), saying I was trying to avoid paying commission fees!
Hence my question!

PS, I wish the truck was an LBZ, it's not - it's an LLY but has had the GM overheat fix applied. Done because I thought it was a much better idea to draw cool air from under the wheel-well than hot air from behind the rad. Never even heard the secondary fan kick in since.

First of all kaydeejay sorry to see you possibly hang it up. I have enjoyed your posts over the years.

I guess you could try Craig's List.
You have a much sought after combination, both the Sunnybrook and the LBZ. Good luck with it.
