And doing it on a commercial drop deck trailer sounds like a great idea too. Heavy duty axles with real air brakes, and good strong frames. I went to the HDT Rally last fall. Lots of those guys seemed to be (or had been) struggling with brake problems and axle problems. I don't think any 5th wheel manufacturers overbuild their frames/axles/brakes. Some of the guys were trying to figure out if they could fit a commercial axle under their 5th wheels.
