Assuming there is a 40% markup over invoice to get MSRP
200,000 / 1.4 = 142,857

If you offer 120,000 you are offering less...

Lifting from the frame is the recommended way...but I have done it from the axle on numerous occasions with no issues. Get the jack as close as you can to the wheel itself.

True...there are upwards of 40% (and higher) markup. Take the MSRP divide by 1.4. Good amount to make an offer with.

X2...I have read articles from Tirerack.com, etc saying that there are no real advantages to nitrogen. Pay the money for a good tire gauge and keep the tires properly filled.

It is not a true gooseneck set up...like used on horse trailers etc. The gooseneck ball is used as an anchor for the 5th wheel hitch. The ball is used in place of rails.
