My wife said she hates you! not sure whatthat is about She has been bugging the hell out of me wanting to go to Pomona. Especially last year, huge Erica Ender's fan.
Maybe this next year we will make it out. Is there track side camping?

You could come out for the finals in November
Yes there is track side camping but spots are more designed for MH & are only 45' long & not cheap!

I have a 2011 Silverado dually with a Highway Products bed.

I had them install the steel plate and hatch so that I have a gooseneck ball and a Reese 30K fifth wheel hitch.

The Reese weighs 65 lbs and requires pulling two pins to lift it out. Then the goose neck ball is exposed.

The Hatch didn't quite work out, so Highway Products has shipped me a set that open 90 degrees from these, so they lay flat when using the hitch.

I have air bags, and it takes 45 psi to level the truck after hitching the Voltage 3800.

Here's a pic:

That looks nice. I got the companion for flatbeds. I dropped it off at the welding shop today. They have to enlarge the well and mine had the ball fix mounted so I had to buy the weld in kit for a turn over type. I took some pictures before and when its done I will take some of the after and post them. Hope all my measuring works out and it tows level.

Well I got it all done and towed with it the other day. Seemed to work good. I was so worried about being to high in the front I ended up 3" low. I knew the 5th wheel hitch had down adjustment in it and I had 3 1/2 of sag when I hooked up. So we lowered the hitch on the 5th wheel about an 1 1/2 and I'm planning on using the air bags to level everything when I get it loaded and see were I'm at.

Looks good! As you load the trailer it will drop some as well. Always easier to raise the back of the truck rather than lower it.
