I thought this was pretty cool. Some good engineering went into this.

Might need an overheight permit

most big 5th wheels are higher but how did he get that in the truck and how does it come down

 

[Mikew5j]

If you click the link and read through the posts he said that the boat is actually lower that the AC on the trailer by a couple of inches. The boat trailer goes up on ramps and is pull by a winch.

Pretty cool. I do the fifth wheel thing myself. Did not realize that you would need a commercial license in California.

Good solution if you ask me.

Not sure what you mean here...you are licensed by your home jurisdiction. If you dont need a commercial license here, you dont down there either. Please explain a bit more...Drive California all the time, maybe im missing something lol

he might be talking about hauling double's, in Cali you can haul your 5er with a boat or another trailer behind, but you need a CDL to do it. getting it set up for weight distrubution is a bugger the first couple times.

pretty sure that if it's legal in your home jurisdiction you good to go, but not 100% on that

Oh ya hauling a double would make sense, but should be no issue pulling a 5th wheel...

Noticed you need a Ford to do this...........don't try it with a chev or dodge...lol

I wonder what the weight limit for the boat is... pretty sure the 2 of us are out on that idea
