Boats sitting on a lift in my dock. Tows night and day different. No more sway, no more light front end, very happy. That's with no brakes either since I had it blasted after I ditched the boat

Yep, 8" adjustment in the highest setting for my truck but also has an interchangeable gooseneck coupler that fits the same tube

Looks great! Nice welds. I need to hire you to weld the drive guard that I've had the steel in my garage for 3 years

Like everyone else, nice welds.

What is the small flat block welded on the inside of the horizontal section?

Where the angles are mitered? Just a tie in reinforcement so rather than rely on just a but weld, theres also 8" of fillet weld on each side of the weld seam

What did you paint it with?
Don't laugh....Rustoleum mixed 4:1:1 with enamel hardener and acetone for thinner

Sonic700, icdedppl, and myself are big fans of rustoleum! I painted my old formula trailer with it. Its good chit , cheap amd durable. And quite glossy.

What was wrong with the trailer before, and why did you convert it to a fifth wheel? It looks great you do nice work.

Nothing really wrong with it, but I was planning on putting the second rail on it to take some of the 5 inches of crown out of it, and cutting off the tongue to get rid of the surge brakes. Just taking the crown out of the trailer raised the rear of the trailer 4". I can now pull in and out of places without dragging the rear of the trailer. The fifth wheel was just my preference
