Not too long after we got this smoking deal (it was in pristine condition) I noticed the Filon covering the kingpin area was cracked. I removed it and low and behold the frame was cracked where it transitions down to the main frame. Luckily DWs SIL was a certified welder. Sold that puppy at auction with the caveat "welded/repaired frame". Not saying your batteries are too heavy just a heads up . YMMV.

Super interesting! Thanks for the real life experience. Were you using a stationary or sliding hitch?
