    Ram truck pulling 5th wheel

    I said in my post that I did not recommend doing it and that it was done because I had nothing else at the time.

    Ram truck pulling 5th wheel

    I pulled a 38' toy hauler at 16,000 from NM to Yellowstone and back(2,000 miles) with an old 2002 Chev Duramax 2500 that had air bags, upgraded tires and a chip. This was before I was able to get a 3500. I had zero problems with handling, breaking or anything else with the set up, but I was...

    B&W Companion on 2019 Silverado HD...bed slop...gap...

    Don't think there would be a liability issue with adding these supports. They just bolt to the frame to fill the gap between the frame and the bed, they really have nothing to do with the integrity of the hitch. And even though Andersen shows out of stock, Pullrite has this also.

    B&W Companion on 2019 Silverado HD...bed slop...gap...

    Fun fact about 2019 and earlier GM trucks. There is no support between the frame and bed where the back rail of most single point hitches touch. PullRite and Andersen both make a pad that attaches to the frame under the bed to provide support. Maybe this is part of the problem with denting...

    Need more pin weight!

    I have experienced the same thing to a lesser extent than you when I have the RZR in in the XLR 321. Mine is not really a problem or worrisome, but I can tell the pin weight is considerably lighter. When I have the RZR out the rear end sits on the overloads a little. When the RZR is loaded...

    how bad did i screw up my Dometic fridge

    Check for yellow powder on the coils in the back. If there is powder or yellow residue, you have an ammonia leak. Have someone try to start it on gas from inside while you are outside and can observe the gas system. If you can hear the ignitor clicking but no gas going through it might be the...

    how bad did i screw up my Dometic fridge

    Is it just not getting cold, are there codes, lack of power? Not lighting on propane. Need more information to be of any help. Our Dometic in a 1996 Holiday Rambler quit. Just needed a new control box. Other problems could be thermocouple or the propane heating unit.

    What size box for 5th wheel?

    I have a Chev. short bed and don't really have issues. I can get about 75 degrees. Any more than that and you are just side loading the trailer tires anyway. Mine is also a daily driver so the short bed is much more convenient.

    OUCH

    Did the truck driver even stop? Hope they caught him and his insurance has to step up.

    Goose neck v Fifth Wheel

    It appears that the Reese goose box is Lippert approved, but I would get conformation. Advantages of this system is not having a 200# hitch taking up room in the truck bed. The Reese Goose Bos is an Air Ride system, so I would guess that it will work very well. I have discussed this with...

    Towing 5th Wheel with a 4x4

    I have a 4x4 Duramax SWB and do not have a slider. I can get about 75 degrees turn without a problem, and even more before the cab becomes an issue. I have a bed cover and the pin box gets close the bed rails. If I wasn't using an Andersen Hitch that puts the pin about 4" further from the back...

    2013 Forest River Rockwood Reviews?

    I don't think your replies are all about me. I think your replies are all about how great you are and how dim-witted everyone is that doesn't agree with you. I never said I was bouncing on the bump stops, that was a poster after me. The trailer I have grosses at 16,500 and I don't have it loaded...
