I'm not sure that "Fleetwood" and "honest" go together in the same sentence - far too expensive to be honest! (touch of the green-eyed monster creeping in here)
Certainly way out of my pocket money range, anyway.

Hampshireman, a 5th Wheel is basically a caravan that attaches to a 5th wheel device on the bed of a pickup truck instead of a tow ball. A 5th wheel is what is used by artic lorries in the UK to connect the tractor and trailor together, and I am sure that you have seen these, so just imagine a scaled down version in the bed of a pickup.

Keith's text is good but the link is misleading. The "fifth-wheel" hitch shown in the link is actually a goose-neck ball hitch. This is used on horse boxes and similar, but you will rarely if ever see one used on a fifth-wheel in the States (otherwise they would be called goose-balls and not fifth-wheels ).

I actually thought it looked like a rather bad set for a 70's sitcom or perhaps 'Murder She Wrote' still no accounting for taste.

Did you have to change the brakes for use in the UK? 5'ers have electric brakes dont they? - I was told they are illegal over here but wasn't sure.
I did a lot of research about brakes and and personally concluded that electric brakes ARE illegal. However, many companies (Dutch, German, as well as British) state that they are legal, so I'm probably wrong.
Interestingly the 5er company in Wales referred to earlier in this thread uses air brakes. I doubt they would have gone to those lengths if electric brakes were entirely legal.
