Done to a flat bed.

Not an RV but some ideas on what it would take, Lots of photos!

Look at gooseneck trailer. They sit lower to the ground then TT. Loading the golf cart would be much easier with this configuration.

Anyone seen what I'm purposing to do?

But the fifth wheel trailer front is very high up, with the hitch dropping down. With a TT, you are going to have to build the hitch up, then back down, to fit. Seems like a lot of work. Oh, i'm sure it can be done, but does seem like quite a job.

and this contraption is almost exactly what I was seeing in my mind's eye - having to build the hitch up with metal, then back down into truck bed. Will take some serious welding skill. Not to mention I'm not sure where he plans to put the golf cart...

Yes!! Thats the idea.

Don't want a toy hauler, not as nice. Camper bought and paid for. Have time and the skill. Not interested in reselling. Like the layout of what I have. Camper axles have already upgraded. Thanks for the pictures of the flat bed, looking for it done on an RV.

Keep it coming.

I don't know if DOTs across the country would give you any trouble or not for having so severely modified a trailer, but I wouldn't want to invite there inspection.

Inspected away. My buddies and I welded on nuclear reactors.

Wouldn't have a problem talking to some DOT's.

Try contacting this person and see if he thinks it can be done in his mind.

This is the idea, but want to retro my camper with a gooseneck version.

it would be much easier to buy a 40' flatbed goose neck trailer and then take the axles off your tt and place it on top of the flatbed and weld it to the frame along with some orher kind of hold down system. there are like 5 of them around here where i live they use them in the oil field for portable offices and sleeping quarters.
