I have now had a chance to tow with the new hitch.
I have now re-located the tool box toward the rear next
to the hitch and away from the front of the bed.
That gives me storage in front of the box.

The main reason why we purchased both RV and truck
hitches was prompted by the un-easy ride of the TrailAir hitch that
was purchased with our Cedar Creek DayDreamer RV. The original
hitch did nothing for the jerking of the truck. Also we added
a second shock to the TrailAir which helped a little but the bounce
was un-bearable. Our last trip out west we actually bent the
shock mounting bolts. With retirement around the corner we
wanted as smooth a ride as possible. After trying a Fifth
Airborne hitch we knew we were going to have to get radical to
satisfy our three doxies that always travel with us. After
doing my research I made a deal with
Demco and
Hitch Crafters. After watching both videos I felt two
shock absorbers would be a good idea. The built in air
compressor with computer controlled auto-leveling system is the
cat's meow. This hitch utilizes the double pivot low profile
Binkley FW0001 5th wheel mount.
We also utilized the under bed mounting system
already on the truck from the previously mounted Signature hitch.
The under bed mounts and hitch had a little movement in these due to
the way they are designed. The cracks and pops the Signature
had was always disturbing to both my wife and I. The new
hitches and mount combinations in this system has absolutely no
movement and are very quiet. The other experience that moved
us toward overkill in both designs was a meeting of two Rver's at a
campground in our county a month ago. They experienced a head
on collision with a stopped vehicle about a year ago. The
collision was only about 5 mph. Yet the damage it did to their
RV hitch with mounting rails was devastating. The front rail
was bent four inches down through the truck bed and the rear rail
was likewise in the opposite direction. As we all know many
Rver's are traveling down the road with heavy 15k rigs with 15 & 16k
hitches. Think about it.... |
