FIFTH-WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILERS ONLY
Hitches
Different types of hitches are available for pickup trucks to tow fifth-wheel travel trailers.
The best type of hitch is one that is bolted directly to the floor of the truck box through the
frame.
Consult with your independent, authorized dealer or hitch supplier to determine what is
right for you and your trailer.
Hitch Height
There is no recommended hitch height for fifth-wheel travel trailers. The pin box is
adjustable at two inch intervals for variance in trucks and their suspension systems. Always
travel with the truck and travel trailer as level as possible.
Hitching Procedures
1. Make sure the trailer wheels are blocked.
2. Make sure the hitch lever is in its open or “cocked” position unless it has been
designed to open automatically. Adjust the fifth-wheel travel trailer pin to the proper
height. Lower the tailgate, if applicable.
3. Back the truck so the hitch encircles the fifth-wheel travel trailer pin.
4. A gentle contact of the hitch saddle against the pin will cause the mechanism to close.
5. Secure the hitch lever as specified by the manufacturer.
6. Put the truck in drive (DO NOT press on the accelerator) and ‘bump’ the hitch to
make sure it is locked.
7. Be sure to raise the fifth-wheel landing gear all the way up.
8. Attach the breakaway switch cable to the tow vehicle.
9. Plug the 12-volt DC electrical connector from the tow vehicle to the fifth-wheel travel
trailer.
10. Raise the tailgate of the tow vehicle, if applicable.
11. Remove the wheel chocks from the trailer wheels.
Refer to the complete list of suggested items in this manual for pre-trip planning and
departing from camp for additional items to complete before traveling.
