Crusader states infighting

So positing a scenario in which the crusaders in the levant and Egypt do better and establish more long lasting domains how likely would intra-crusader wars and violence be?

What fault lines would or might exist that would cause the Latins to fight each other?

If say you have crusader states from Adanya to the Nile delta would infighting be common?

Would this result in unification or destruction?

Officially the Kingdom of Jerusalem was the head crusader kingdom out of the main 3 but if Egypt was conquered it'd be far more powerful than all the Levant states combined. You'd most definitely see a power struggle between the king of Jerusalem and whoever was in charge in Cairo.
 
The Fourth Crusade sends its greetings if you extend the definition of crusader state to those monarchs in Europe that sent men to fight in the crusades.
Frankokratia for days!

Seriously though, I agree with ben. If the crusader states succeeded, whichever one controlled eygpt would be the one that won the struggles between their respective nations, unless jerusalem somehow had centuries of Baldwin IV's. Y'know, speaking about the latin empire, gives me kind of an idea. Who would you guys think win, a crusader state in the levant/ eygpt, or a ascendant latin empire?
