Here ya' go Lenny! I actually took your advise and did a mock-up out of some crap plywood I had kicking around. Used a laser under the coach to spec out the sketch to make sure all clearances were considered and accounted for. The primary material will be 3 1/2" X 5" X 5/16" angle iron. Most of the 3-ft. main-beam section and the 12" long mount section that will be welded to the trailing arm will be made from this; additionally, this mount will be bored for three 1/2" bolts so the main beam can be bolted to it and easily removed if required. So far it's looking good but I've yet to confirm the correct angle to mount/weld the mounting plate at.
