RE: Gooseneck hitch vs 5th wheel
Question. Fifthwheel hitch pivits forward and backward, and some pivit side to side. Bolted or pined to the truck bed. You can undo the bed pins or bolts and remove it with trailer still connected to the fifthwheel hitch. GN pivits and disconnects at the bed. Pivit point different place but still connected to truck frame where load is applied and pulled from. How is it more stress when load is at the frame of truck with both hitches? If you unpined fifthwheel hitch at the bed and left on trailer would you not just have a big gooseneck hitch?

RE: Axle Ratio - 3.73 or 4.10????
Don't forget newer trucks have taller tires than say my 2000 f250 on 16 inch rims and shorter tires. Remember to add that to gearing choices

RE: 5th wheel hitch converted to trailer hitch
The Scamp Fifth wheel and some of the older small fifthwheels had a hitch that looked like a boat trailer hitch welded to it, and mounted in the bed of the truck on a ball like a gooseneck trailer. Make sure that is not what you have, it could mount to a bumper hitch (not the way to tow it)and be very low in the front.

RE: what brands without lippert frames
Our 2006 Flagstaff by Forest River has a Dexter frame. I know because I called and talked to them about adding a generator to the rear bumper, and Flagstaff had me call Dexter and I talked to the engineer who designed the frame.

RE: 2" Flexable Duct Source
If my math is right 2 inch will flow 25% of a 4 inch and two 2 inch will only flow 50%. Your heater might run hot and shut down. You need two 2.5 or 3 inch to do it right, that is if I added it up correctly.

RE: Stabilizer jacks, up or down during storage?
If you have a air leak in one of the tires it could be a problem if the stablizers are down and you dont know for a few days or weeks.

RE: Child hit by golf cart in campground
Drink and drive it's your fault. Don't like it then don't drink and drive a vehicle, whether it's a lawn mower, boat, car, bike or golf car. I have worked to many DUI wreaks, DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.

RE: brake away cable tension
Trailer comes off truck held by safety chains gives you time to use trailer brakes to slow down, do not use truck brakes very much this allows trailer to stop everything. If chains break then it pulls 7-pin cord off truck and pulls out the emergency brake cable to stop trailer uncontrolled. As long as trailer is connected to truck by hitch or chains you have control might not be much but some. You lose trailer you are responsble for all damages to others.I would rather trailer stay with me and not kill someone else.
