I had to drill holes when I put in my 5th wheel hitch. Just about killed me.

I m the same way. Took a lot of guts to install my cab lights. Just wasn't right drilling 15 holes in the top to install.

Nice thing to have if you like camping. Gets you off the ground.

Thought about making a slide in for my tilt trailer..I would have to make sure it was a little front heavy.. Brought that wooden shed kit home and finally figured out why the trailer was wobbling.. It was just slightly to the rear weighted..

It was 16 miles so I took the backroads and tried to stay off the fast ones so I would not hold traffic up.
