    Need recommendation for hitch extender + riser/drop

    When I got my RV (2022 2109S Mini Lite), I had a truck and that's the vehicle the RV dealer installed the weight distribution hitch / anti sway bars to.

    Fighting Hitch Itch

    This winter we are doing a new (for us) thing. We will spend four months in one site. Although after a week we hitched up long enough to reposition the boards under the wheels as the tires on one side were not fully in the boards. Should we plan to hitch up a second time to roll the tires to a...

    Lifespan of a Fifth Wheel Hitch

    I've been using the same 16k Reese tilting hitch for about ten years. On visual inspection, it appears perfectly serviceable and functions normally. This is the second fiver I've towed with it, neither more than 12.5k in weight. Most of my towing has been long distances over interstates, and...

    New owner 2511S need to pick hitch

    I've run an Anderson 5th wheel hitch in my truck for 3 years and love it. What do you folks think about the Anderson Trailer hitch? What do most of you folks use? Currently have a 2021 Ram 2500 Diesel 4x4 truck.

    Is hitch size correct????

    After towing my 2022 Cherokee 28FK-L to Vermont and New Hampshire this past season, I noticed that my 2021 F150 was sagging in the rear which of course caused the front to be higher than normal. This is with me hanging 9 links in the chain which is the maximum number recommended with my Blue Ox...

    Hey All. I purchased a 2016 Flagstaff Classic T12RB (17') from a private party. I asked them to confirm what size ball I need to tow it with before I do the 100 mile drive to pick it up. She said there was nothing printed on the coupler to confirm the size. Does anyone know what size ball...

    Salem hitch latch

    Hello, new to the forum. I recently bought a 2019 Salem FSX 167RB. Everything seems to be great except the latch on top of the hitch works oddly. Basically, it will not stand up on its own while lowering the trailer onto the ball. I have dealt with quite a few trailers, and the latch has always...

    Equalizer hitch shank wear

    The shank of my equalizer hitch, the part that slides in to the receiver, has a lot of wear on the top. Looks like a lot to me, anyway. The hitch is about 2 1/2 years old and has towed my camper less than 1000 miles. Probably closer to 500. Is this normal? Should I grease it?
