Ive started this build well over a year ago, and kind of lost interest then every once in a while id get interest again until I finally decided to wipe the dust off and try and get it done... I was able to get a hold of the guys over at Ottawa and they were nice enough to send over pdf files and dimensions to get me going after I told them what I was doing. 5th wheel will raise and lower like the real deal, and will also equip with lights and sound if I can cram it in there with the full interior. I think it will be a nice fun build when im done. Best part is I get to drive around the shows relocating ppls trailers :cop::lol::bounce:

Looks like the Autocar "Yard Spotter" I see working everyday at Dexter in Albion. I'd been thinking about building one but you beat me to it. I'll be watching this one, keep up the good work.

Just the other week I stopped at a convenience store and parked next to one. It was a dead ringer for this one, I wish I had taken a pic. White with yellow grating just like yours. Only thin different was it had a yellow handrail in back. Great job, I know I'll see it again as it's right down the street at a warehousing company. I'll get a pic next time. :)
