    8000 lb e2 Trunnion Hitch Issue.

    Hi. I have a 2016 Microlite 23LB. When I bought it and brought it home, there was no tension on the trunnion bars at all. Some time later, I raised the "L" brackets one hole. That made it seem like the bars were carrying load at least. Some time later, I took it to a dealer to have them verify...

    Hitch bike carrier for fifth wheel?

    I have a fifth wheel, I'm going to add a hitch receiver to the bumper so I can bring our bikes- I'd prefer the hitch style so when we get where we're going I can use it on my truck as well.

    Rear tow hitch lights?

    I made the huge mistake of not checking these on delivery or since. Last night tried to hitch up in the dark and found the lights supplied by Dynamax do not work. The Aux switch illuminates; the wiring of the Aux connection to #1 looks solid; the fuse is not blown as presumably the Aux #1...

    Equalizer Hitch Surprise

    In hitching up today, one of the sway bar receptacles on the hitch seemed to move somewhat freely, so I got out my sockets and box wrenches to snug things up. The nut and a small piece of the bolt fell off. The bolt was still threaded through the nut. I went to Ace Hardware and bought a Grade...
