Re-inventing 5th wheel

Power unit has 24v lights. Memphis used to sell converter from 24v military plug to 12v ASAE 12 volt commercial plug. Brakes ? Does your trailer have air brakes? Can the goose neck on the trailer be adjusted to compensate for fifth wheel height ? Commercial trucks are typically 48" high, military double trunnion wheels may be 60" high (m81. If these issues are not addressable wouldn't a Dodge 3500 dually serve you ? Also carefully monitor the air pressure in the trailer tiers and do not overload the trailer. Service trailer wheel bearings periodically too.
