. Now I wonder if it could work on my HHR. But to answer your question, with time and patience anything can be built.

Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2013 7:42 amI've wondered about that too. Seen this video a few times. Wish I was brave enough talented enough and mostly patient enough to try it myself.

Oh, at first I thought you meant the cheesy 70's outfits and haircut. I wouldn't attempt those either.

Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2013 5:12 pmI have thought about a fifth wheel Foamie but I think it's like Bogo said the frame would be the hard part. Don't have a vdub nor am I planning on getting one but I do have a truck. The other issue is the massive hitch for a fifth wheel. I'd want something much lighter Good food for thought

Could do a goose neck hitch. Everything mounts under the bed, just the ball sticks up.

Goosenecks are what we use on the farm. I can't understand that raised semi like hitch the RV industry seams to like. It just seams to fill up the pickup bed, and cost an arm and a leg more than it should. A good flip over ball type gooseneck hitch installed is only $500 to $700 and will handle a 20,000 to 35,000 pound trailer depending on the ball and hitch.
