Examples of that are all of the boat building projects that never get finished. A friend of my dad's worked decades on his boat and never finished it before he died. And the boat was only a 25 footer fishing boat.
Again, I have no idea how boat building compares, but I think there are a lot of things that would need to be researched before attempting a 5th wheel project.
Now, if you were to go ahead, I would love to see your progress. I think it would be a great project to follow!

Oh I get it that this would be a MAJOR project which is one of the reasons I haven't already started. I have however started converting my 24' enclosed trailer into a toyhauler. Next up I am looking at building a slide in camper for our long bed 1 ton dually. And then there is the workshop (or at least a full roof we need to build).
I may never get to the 5th wheel but it would be a sweet build.
And don't get me wrong, the HC381TH we currently own has served us fairly well. Its just not very well built and there is a unique floor plan out there I would love to build to show it CAN be done!!
