    Transparent Trailer View -- Not for Fifth Wheel

    I upgraded to a 2020 GMC and paid the big bucks for the trailer rear camera (about $500 + tx from dealer parts department). Then found out it's not wireless and is for 32' or shorter bumper hitch trailers only. Big disappointment; sales people and Chevy/GMC web sites did not mention any of...

    Converting a fifth wheel hitch to use gooseneck bad?

    I have been doing research on converting a 5th wheel hitch to use a gooseneck. My truck comes with the 5th wheel/gooseneck package. Would it make sense to do the conversion to save weight instead of using a traditional 5th wheel hitch mount?

    Where are all the short fifth wheels?

    I have been trying to find a used fifth wheel in the 25-26 foot range and they are scarcer than hens teeth. Is it because there were never many made or they were unpopular or what gives? I primarily search craigslist and facebook market place. The few I have found are higher than the NADA value.

I noticed what many had said, very stable, no sway even with a little wind. I did notice slight chucking which I suppose is expected. I purchased a B&W...
