Thanks Yogi, you are too kind with your praise. There is more to come and more painting and details.

On with the build: In the making of the fifth wheel, I did not look closely at the center pole or tongue. I extended the pole too far to the rear. I had to trim it off or the fifth wheel would not be able to work with the wheel stop.

In this version I did the front hitch attachment and removal point. (Last Pictures)

Next posting is on the making of the front wheel assembly jig.
