Hi All
I am looking at all options for building/buying somthing to manuver my Rockwook Signature Ultralight (30ft 4 tonne max) 5th wheel.
Do the front legs have the strength to have wheels mounted to them so I can use the Power Touch all wheel drive caravan type mover that bears onto the tyres (moves up to 3.5 tonne on the flat and I don't think my 5ver is that heavy).
If not I was thinking of fabricating a support for the actual hitch with 4 heavy duty castors (just over 1 tonne on 4x8 inch castors) using angle iron welded together and some sort off fixing to stop it folding under the hitch, piramid shaped with a wide bottom for stability.
I know that calder is making something but they have not disclosed what yet and when I asked about it was told it was only made for lightweight units.
I am fine with normal manuvering but I just dont have the lenght where I turn round to do so with the truck attached and want to be able to unhitch the truck and then use the mover for the last few yards.
Cheers all
Andy Penn.
