New to the list, but a GMC owner for a while. I saw the WMC 5th wheel web
page and it intrigues me. Has anyone ever done this? Does it work? What
does the body/interior weigh with the frame and drivetrain off?

Most probably think this is a terrible thing to do with a GMC, but on a
certain level it really appeals to me.

Thanks

Randy Cohen

Technically speaking, that first picture
is of a "gooseneck" conversion rather than
"fifth wheel."

Gotta kisk this back to the top, any info on how to contact Dave? Also any one have an estimate on how much the coach weighs less the front subframe/drivetrain? I am curious how much truck it would take to pull it.
