hitch

I have a Equalizer 4 pt. hitch. The shank has two holes for the lock pin. For the last 10 years I have been using the hole in the shank that is closest to the hitch head believing it to be more secure. Because of this I haven't been able to open my tailgate fully when hooked up. Turning the jack...

I have been using an Anderson no sway WD hitch for the last couple of years with my 2010 Tahoe. I just upgraded to a 2016 Yukon Denaly and it has the self adjusting airbags that cannot be turned off. Because of the self-adjusting on my truck, it continuously removes the tension on the chains and...

I’m comparing WDH with sway control for a 178bhskx and am wondering if a curt model rated for 6-8k weight would work well I’d heard that using models designed for heavier loads may not I would also welcome anyone’s experience with other brands thx

I'm on the road, loaded for a 3-month trip. This is the first time I've taken a long trip since I bought my used F150 w/HDPP, and the first opportunity to get weights at a CAT scale. As many readers know, the standard process includes weighing the truck without the trailer. (See...

Hello everyone, I currently have a Reese 16k revolution hitch in my truck and using the wedge to get better turning radius. As probably everyone know the bushing/bearing on my trailer is not made anymore. I'm wanting to do away with using the the wedge, as to lock it down and stop movement...

We got a new, used 2015 MB Sprinter chassis with a 2018 Coachmen Prism. Instead of paying for a 4-wheel flat towing installation for $6K, we would like to tow our 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk on a U-Haul auto-trailer. I need to find out if our hitch towing capacity is sufficient to do the job...

First-time owner here. In pure noob fashion, I decided to park my 5er long-term without understanding the weather and unwittingly positioned it broadside to a near constant and sometimes pretty strong wind. It has started to lean, apparently enough that the auto-level errors out and doesn't want...

We have a 2022 Rockwood Ultra Lite 2613BS we bought new last year. We just returned home from a 4 week trip, in which we experienced a brand new failure! The "15 AMP S/O HITCH" fuse has blown four times over the last three weeks. It appears to happen as we set up at a new campsite. It...

I have a 22FBS with a trailer hitch on the back. It is rated for 300 lbs, which is meant to carry cargo; I interpret to be 300 pounds directly supported by the hitch. I have a small trailer that has a tongue weight on the order of 40 pounds. It weighs about 500 lbs, and I am wondering if the...

I have not used my fifth wheel hitch for some time. I seem to think it looked more "open" when I was ready to hook-up previously. Does the pic look correct? Thanks, Andy the newby and our Malinois gang

Hi all, first time posting here so apologies if this isn't the correct place. I just have a quick question regarding the proper tongue weight calculation for my weight distribution hitch. I just purchased a 2018 Salem Cruise Lite 201BHXL. I read it's on-paper specs that it has a factory tongue...

I'm thinking about installing a hitch receiver on the back of my camper for carrying bikes. Do I need to use a specific RV one or can I purchase any one from marketplace that is off of a vehicle?

Getting ready to test fit the tow bar from or FR3 to our Chevy Colorado Trail Boss. The is about a 6" difference in height between the connection points on the vehicles. I know I need a drop hitch receiver. Is 6" too much. Does the drop hitch receiver put extra stress on the Motor Home's hitch...

I have a new coachman catalina 2023 legacy, I traded this from a coleman 2018.which was 24 ft, the coachman is 37 feet, now with that said I had dealer swap my wdh from one to other, but I just took it ine first trip and my leveler which I bought(beechlane) says I'm 2.5 inches low at the hitch...

We are new owners of a Rockwood Mini Lite 2205s, and are downsizing from a 5th wheel. It's been many years since we had a travel trailer, and I've been researching hitches. Our trailer has a max weight of 6800 lbs, tongue weight is expected to be around 750 lbs. We'll soon be downsizing our TV...

I had my EAZLIFT R3 Recurve WDH installed at the dealership. When the trailer is attached, the trailer hitch has a little bit of a downward angle, but the angle of the trailer seems good. No driving issues. Any concern with the slight decline of the trailer hitch when the trailer is attached...

Hello All, we have a 2015 Coachmen Apex 215RBK and it came with a load equalizer for 10,000 lbs and it has a 2 5/8 ball. is this ball to large? What size do you all use?

I have a 2023 Surveyor Legend 252RBLE and looking to get a lighter hitch setup. Been using my Husky Centerline for years now and saw this Andersen hitch but been reading about issues with deforming the a-frame of certain trailers. Anyone out there using this on this model camper or similar and...

Did you upgrade truck to a 2.5" receiver and have a Reese WDH ? This is the answer, it allows Reese Weight Distribution hitch to fit the 2.5" receiver directly, no more sleev/adapter. Condition is excellent, it shows signs of usage but in no way reflects any problems. This is not included in...

These are the 1200 lb version of the Reese weight distribution hitch system. We used them for a few months till we traded in the rig for another that already had a weight distribution setup installed. These show signs of being used but are in excellent working order. Buyer has option to pickup...

Has anyone installed the Lippert Assessory Hitch on a 2023 Freedom Express Ultralite?

We just brought our new trailer home. It is a Rockwood signature 8263MBR. We are pulling it with a ram 3500. Previously we had a smaller trailer and truck using an equalizer hitch with the 10,000/1000 rating with no issues I had installed the plastic inserts on the L brackets to quiet the...

I have a 22 salem 270fks. Hitch weight is 1175 dry trailer weight advertised is about 9k. I want to upgrade my weight distribution hitch and sway control. I am towing with a f350 srw. Would it be safe choosing a 1200lb Tw 14k hitch set up? Or do I need to move up a notch on hitch ratings

We were headed south to Texas last week. Went through Oklahoma City and man 44 was rough, it hammered the helms out of the camper. Stopped for a break on the south side of town. Filling up with gas I noticed the hitch indicator showed red -unlatched! I carefully drove to the truck side of the...

Am considering hauling a Vespa or similar scooter on the back of my 2016 3010DS. Would appreciate input on suggested carriers, but more importantly, will the receiver by itself be sufficient enough to handle the weight? Thanks All
