I did a video of my Smokey and the Bandit Kenworth W900 Road Kings and the Hobbs Anti-Sail trailer by MNTrailers. There is one minor modification you need to make on the fifth wheel where the trailer pin connects, you need to drill the fifth wheel where the trailer pin connects with a 1/4 inch drill bit, but be careful because the plate is held on by two small plastic pins and if you are not careful the drill bit can bite the plate and twist it. The plate is just plastic so it is not had to do this modification.

Mike and his father do an excellent job at MNTrailers on these, they are not cheap but you get a nice quality product when they are done.
I am excited to get the NASCAR style they are building for me.

Nice video John, four things:
1) Those rear latches remind me of my 1/18 Motor City horse trailer set-up; they're similar and nicely done too.
2) I wish I could've seen the underside of your trailer, but I know "one handed video shoots" can be tricky! 😏
3) I like their clever "circle (hole) slot" solution to allow for trailer pin travel to accommodate virtually any third-wheel location. Nice!
4) Are there 3 holes in the trailer to accept those 3 coiled, multi-colored "hook-up lines" from the KW? I realize those hook-up lines are fixed but they don't have to be. 😏

@chris There is a box at the front of the trailer on the bottom front that would be where air and electric lines would hook up at, see the photo of the red trailer. I tried to get some photos of the underside of the trailers in the case so the photos are through two panes of glass using a small LED flashlight to provide light. You can see the reefer fuel tank on the red trailer in the under shot better. The Smokey and the Bandit trailer does not have a reefer unit fuel tank for the Reefer unit on the front of the trailer, that is not an error on MNTrailers part, the trailer in the movie also does not have a fuel tank for the reefer unit.
