RQQFER-take a walk thru the photos section, especially the Toterhomes. I'm not sure how big you want the flat bed to be, but it seems like a smaller living "box" could share space with the flat deck over the axle(s). Think of the "GarageToterHome" without enclosing the garage. The newer ultra-lite trailers in the 12-16 ft. length could go against the cab, (or notched over the cab to get your bunk) with the flatbed bringing up the rear. If you are intent on hooking a 5er, you could hang the plate out over the rear a bit, (check out the "Red Rover"Class 8 Volvo guy with calculations for this) and hide it away when you need to. Maybe you consider a bumper pull design for the flatbed trailer and just use the truck chassis for (longer) RV quarters. With under body storage boxes down both sides, you could fit alot of air nailers, roof jacks, band-aids, and beer. Like Doc says, this site is chock full of creative ideas. This can be bad sometimes--I changed my plans a dozen times already! %o
