hitch

I’d like to occasionally use my truck bed. I’d rather not have to get a lift. Does anyone use the 5th wheel to lift the hitch off of the bed? Mine is a B&W Companion slider hitch weighing 267 lbs. The king pin no doubt handles much greater stress than this when pulling the 5th wheel. If I...

After getting home I'm a little concerned about the angle of the tongue to the frame. I attempted to take the photo as flat to the frame as I could, and as perpendicular to the trailer as possible. The angle I measured is around 1.3° different if the software I used as an angle-finder...

Hello all, I've been looking at the Gen-Y gooseneck hitch and was wondering if it would work on my 2019 Cougar 369BHS 5th wheel. Anyone have one on their Cougar 5th Wheel? Thanks

Vehicle: 1. 2021 Toyota Tundra SR5, Crew Cab (6" bed) V8 2. Keystone Springdale 1750RD I recently added air bags to my truck just to stiffen ride a bit as everything when hitched up was level. Mainly done at the request of the misses who gets motion sickness. My kids just gave me a brand...

Does anyone know what is the max weight of the factory mount trailer hitch on a Coachman chaparral 336tsik can carry. I want to haul a 3 wheel e bike and a 2 wheel e bike and trying to figure out what e bike carrier to use.

Hi it seems from the threads that the 2008 sunseeker e450 chassis was rated at 5000 pounds to tow, but got upgraded to 7500 in the mid 2010s. My question is, is it actually an upgraded hitch? Or should I be fine to tow more than 5k with the existing? Some have beefed up, but has any 5k...

Hi all, I have done some searches on here and there seems to be quite a bit of mentions on the Andersen hitches, but I have not seen any dealing with the Ultimate version of the hitch. We just purchased one, have not towed it yet, but I have to say I love the installation of it and the...

Up graded truck from a 2018 2500 ram to a 2024 3500 dually. 9000lb travel trailer Have a curt round bar EQ hitch setup on the 2500, worked great. set ball height on 3500 same as it was on 2500. 3500 only dropped 3/4" at the rear and less than a 1/4 change up front. Trailer is slightly higher...

Ultimate Goal: Carry a 400 pound Yamaha Xmax scooter on a hitch mount carrier while flat towing my Chevy Spark. The scooter and the rack combined are 475 pounds. I felt like that was pushing the limits of my 500 pound tongue weight. Especially with the heavy adapter needed to add receivers...

Our 2024 F-350 dually came optioned with Ford's OEM 35k hitch. I've only towed our new 5th wheel once and we had a really difficult time getting disconnected from our TV. At the time I assumed it was because we didn't know what we were doing since this is our first 5th wheel but today I wanted...

So I installed my Andersen rail based hitch on my 2019 K2500 HD crew cab Duramax with the ball in its lowest position because my trailer already rides slightly nose high. The adapter is installed on the pin box with the ball socket forward. On its first trip out, at some point the bottom of...

I use an Equal-i-zer brand WDH and anti-sway hitch. I've recently read several stories about the WDH, when going over inclines like a step entrance into a gas station or rough roads, causing enough stress between the tow vehicle and the trailer frame to cause the trailer frame to bend. I've seen...

Am wondering if anyone can help me out with either of the measurements in the pic. Height to underside of overhang, and height to top of king pin - with the unit level. I am going to pick the unit up and want to be sure my hitch is set up correctly. Thank You.

Hi all, I'm at my wits end and hope you guys can help figure this out. I apologize in advance for the long winded post. We've tried a lot of things up to this point. TT: Flagstaff Classic 826MBR TV: 2024 F250 - Snow Plow Prep Package (Stock except timbrens and dual steering stabilizers, no...

Hi, I have an R-Pod. Everything works except for the motor that controls the trailer hitch. I can't manually raise of lower the hitch because the bolt is frozen. But I've always been able to use the motor. Not now. I've checked the fuses. Any advise would be welcome. Thanks. Lucius

Does anyone have any experience towing a Cougar 29RLI (or comparable) with a Ford F250 Super Duty 6'10" bed. Can the R&W Companion be used successfully with this set-up or is a slide hitch necessary?

Hi, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. We just bought a 2015 Forest River R-Pod M-182G pull behind camper today. This is our first camper and so I am needing to learn what I need. My 2018 Toyota Tundra user manual says I must use a "sway control device" since the camper is more...

Hi all, Looking at moving to a 5th wheel trailer from existing TT. Need to know what people do when they are not towing and need to use the truck for other things than towing? Also is there any suggestions on a quality light weight hitch that can be removed? Looking at a smaller 5th wheel less...

I purchased an Anderson Hitch when I first got my R-Pod 196. After towing from Maryland to San Antonio Texas and back (3300 miles), I was not impressed with the performance. I sold the Anderson and purchased a Camco TR3 and installed. I just towed from Maryland to Sault Ste. Marie Michigan...

My wife and I are considering an upgrade in the next several months from our larger travel trailer to the Jayco 29.5 BHDS Fifth Wheel. We've never had a fifth wheel before and are interested in people who have experience towing a camper similar to this with a truck similar to ours--Ram 2500...

I am purchasing a Cougar HT 23mls and will be buying a fifth wheel hitch for it. I will be towing with a Ram 2500 short bed. I am trying to decide between the B&W Patriot slider with rails or Companion with the overturn ball. Is a slider really needed? I would like to hear pros and cons for...

Bought a "new to me" 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 and it sits >2" higher than my old 2011 Silverado 1500. So, I came up with this hitch extender from Curt. Then i read this while researching on Curt: You also need to be aware that both towing and tongue weight capacities of the hitch will be...

Hi Guys, I have a new 2024 RAM 3500 Limited Longhorn Mega Cab w/Cummins diesel (w/factory OEM self-leveling rear air bags). Was looking at getting a Cougar 23MLE, but... 1. The dealer tells me they been having trouble with the Cougars and the height of the bed of 1 Ton trucks, saying the...

My Arcadia has a hitch on the back. 300 weight limit which is standard. But how much can you pull? I have a few kayaks I’d like to bring with us but with a 5th wheel there is no good way to bring them. Can’t stand them up in a rear carrier as one is a 13fr tandem. I was thinking of...
