Thanks for the response. I like the idea of a small bunk over the cab. Like a regular sized truck camper that Fits in a pickup and most have a queen bed over the cab. I was just looking at the shape of most 5th wheels. Seems like u could make a couple cuts to pattern the back and top of cab. almost make a 90 Shape. with 3-6" clearance on top of cab and on back. I want to be 36-38' total. Some places I go won't allow over 38. So if I could get a extra bunk up there that could sleep 2. That would be great. What I would like is to find a nice toy hauler with 1 slide and mount that on top. Has anybody ever seen a 5th wheel conversion, pics,ideas ect.. Thanks again !
