We have the B&W Companion hitch also on our Ford F250. We love it & I can even remove it without my husband helping. Plus it's made in the USA. Great hitch. Cyndi
Mike - Our Thuele Bike Rack also has something that my husband can screw it in tight in the receiver so it doesn't move. It really locks it in tight. Thanks
Laurent - Did you have your bikes covered & that is why you had so much wind problem?? I haven't heard anyone having that problem with them in the front. So wondering if that is an issue even if you don't have a cover on the bikes? Thanks, Cyndi
Mike & Joanna,
I also have a 2012 Ford F250 & am looking into the Bodiak hitch for the front of our truck. I have a Thuele 3 Bike Rack. I was wondering do the bikes obstruct your vision ?? Thanks, Cyndi
Getting ready to purchase an Arvika Bike Rack that mounts on the pin box of 5th wheel. Anybody have any experience with mounting them on pin box & how do they ride? Much bounce?? Looks like a good system buy very expensive. Thanks
Noobee do u still have that pin box bike carrier for sale? How many bikes does it carry?i live inUsa don't know if u would be interested in selling and shipping to NJ?thanks
Thanks, we also carry a 2 step mini ladder so that would be no problem. I contacted a dealer for the carrier that is located in NY State to get info. on it but they haven't emailed me back yet. Their business is 5 hrs away so they would have to ship it to me. Guess I have till next spring to get...
Bob,
Thanks for all the info. Noobee posted that his is bolted on the side of his pin box. He also gave me the link to the company that makes a bike rack that mounts that way. I also saw one like that in Myrtle Beach on an Elkridge like mine so I think that would work. I'll have too check it all...
Noobee,
Thanks for the info. very helpful. Was there any problems with carrying the bikes on the pin box? I know Dave stated he didn't like it due to wind & getting the bikes down from the carrier. As I stated we really don't like the bumper carrier & can't fit them in the bed due to 5th wheel...
I would like to get a bike carrier to mount on my pin box. Do they sell special ones for this? I've been looking online & can't find any info. on it. I have the white plastic cover over the pin box which would have to be removed or cut a hole in it. Do they mount on the side of it? Or do I have...
Lance,
We can't see our pin box - it has a white plastic cover over it. I know we will have to cut a hole in it to attach a bike carrier. How does the carrier attach?? Do you have to weld it on or can it bolt on??
How much weight can it hold? I have a bike carrier that holds up to 4 bikes & slides into a 2" hitch but it is heavy & that is without the bikes. But I would like to try your setup it sounds like the easiest.
Hi,
We're looking for a good bike carrier for either the front of our truck or the front of our 5th wheel. Anyone have one on the front of their 5th wheel & how does it attach?
Thanks
Someone told me you could mount another tank alongside of the original tank & you could switch between tanks when one is empty. I really haven't looked into it yet except for posting on this website.
We are looking to add another gas tank (preferably) under the truck. We really don't want to put one in the bed. We have a 2012 Ford F250 long bed truck. Has anyone added another tank & how difficult is it? Any input is appreciated. Thanks
I have a Dometic refrig. that is located on our slide. Both the freezer & refrig. seem to work ok in cooler weather. When we vacation in Myrtle Beach the freezer works great but the refrig. doesn't seem to be able to keep the food cool. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have the slide by...
We stayed at Cherry Hill also. Nice campground & if you don't want to take their bus to the metro you can drive there. On the weekend there is plenty of parking for your truck. There would prob. be enough room during the week also. They also have a pet walking service if you are going to be gone...
We are heading down south in a few weeks. Not sure what you call it but has anyone used the plastic film that you put over windows & heat it with a hair dryer to get it to stick. You buy it from Home Depot or Lowes & usually use it over windows in the winter to keep the cold out. Our AC runs non...
Thanks for all the info.- prices - etc. I don't know why they just don't put larger gas tanks on them as a standard option. You would think most people buy these big trucks for towing & therefore would like a bigger tank. It's a pain trying to find a gas station sometimes that you can fit into...
I have a 2012 Ford F250 & it sure is a pain with the small gas tank. Does anyone know what would the cost be to change the gas tank (under the truck) to a bigger tank & how big of a job is it?? Also would it void my warranty?
We have a 2012 Elkridge 5th wheel. The TV retracts behind the fireplace. I always hold my breath when I hit the button to raise or lower the TV because it doesn't always work. Is there a delay or anything with the switch. This past weekend I turned the TV off & went to lower the TV before...
