Respect. This is excellent, readable, tech-level work. Organized and clear. Have you considered doing an article about 5th wheel couplings that cause the RV to be angled upwards at the nose instead of level / in-line with the height of the truck? If you have the data, would you direct me, please.
Thank you for the compliments! We have an article that talks about how to choose the correct 5th wheel hitch for your application which I am linking for you to check out. If you aren't able to lower the front of your RV and still retain that 5" - 6" bed side clearance that the article talks about then you might need to look into increasing the height of your RV. Let me know if this is the case and I can help you look into this as well.

I have a 1979 Holiday Rambler Presidential 30' fifth wheel camper. It has what has been described as an inverted fifth wheel hitch: the fifth wheel plate is on the trailer, and the king pin is in the bed of the tow vehicle. I have the king pin adapter for a B&W turnover ball hitch system, but would like to replace the box on my camper with a conventional king pin box. Advice on parts or on how to locate a fabricator to weld up a new box would be appreciated. Thanks,
That is an interesting setup. Does the pin box have any numbers on it (like 1620 or 0719)? That would be the first step.
