I got a similar post that pointed me to the site. I sent some Email to get some specifics like spec's and capacities from the Link that was there. There were only a couple of pages to look at.
http://www.greerinc.com/fifthdimension/It seems to be a bit light and flimsy looking to me, but we'll see what they send back.
I'm also interested in the notion of a Vintage conversion to a 5th wheel trailer, space above the tow vehicle. This sounds to me like it would be a great project. I would need to get that Pole shed up though before I thought about tackling it.
Maybe I'll learn photoshop in the process of visualizing something.

Bobb,
Someone posted a URL on one of the A/S lists a short while ago where a
gooseneck "Adaptor" was shown. Apparently, this thing is commercially
available.I frankly don't see why one couldn't be fabricated in a couple of days,
probably less by a professional welding shop. I'd bet that I could do it
here in no more than 15-20 hours and a few hundred $$$ in iron. There's no
reason in the world why it couldn't be easily detachable.<<Jim>>
