Mercedes G500...too short of a wheel base to pull anything longer than a 22-24 footer IMO. It's not just about towing weight but also braking and sway. Number one priority is to be safe!

1. Murphy Bed...I think Paula is right on with her assessment.
2. Cost...will depend on whether you are doing the work yourselves or paying someone to do it. If doing it yourself, expect to pay $15-20K above the cost of the trailer for a fully-customized restoration. If paying someone else to do it...double that. Could be as much as a new trailer $60K+.
