I was having my hopes up too, but you gotta do what you gotta do so that you can sleep nights.

Very nice it is... what size pin is on that fifth wheel?
What height fifth wheel is it? 1580mm? And what will that kind of truck be plated to? (I notice no connection points on front of unit, or locks on chassis for ballast box) What type of loads do you intend to carry? I,m interested to hear :wink: Very nice unit I have to say.

Thanks NascarFan, do you mind my asking about trailer modifications?
What are the axle configurations, does the trailer have steering or self-tracking, and how will you detach the neck? is the neck air release pins or hydraulic? Sorry for all questions, I,m just interested in any differences between heavy haul there and over here. Thanks, Kev :wink:
