Try looking for - FLD112 or 120, or FLC112 or 120 (Century Class), these can be had just as cheaply as the mediums, and there is a far larger selection. Much stronger trucks, SAME fuel mileage, SAME price, SAME or better comfort level, due to air suspension, which most mediums do not have, and almost ALL Class 8's do.

Porschemann, you can get an adapter to haul your fifth wheel trailer on a gooseneck hitch. Otherwise, if you don't want a toterhome with bathroom, etc.-why not get a used single axle tractor? Bob

Hey guys, Thanks for all the feedback. I'm aware that I can put a different hitch on my existing trailer, I just pull the 5th wheel hitch out of the pinbox and slide in a gooseneck. HOWEVER, I don't want a gooseneck. The big drawback is that the trailer does NOT need to be tethered to the truck for a 5th wheel but DOES with a gooseneck. Believe me, if she comes loose, I don't want cables/chains holding that trailer to my truck! Let it go and let the break-away take care of it! As to the issue of the single axle, we do want to have the convenience of the sleeping area and the cook surface. We always stay at the track, currently in the trailer which has accomodations in the front, but I want to take that space over for more car stuff and move the accomodations to the toter... Anyhow, I am in NO rush on this and the ideal vehicle will come if I am patient ! :-)
