    Anderson Ultimate Fifth Wheel Hitch

    Do you have the model number of this hitch and is it an Andersen hitch? This doesn't look any different than the aluminum model and I can't find it on the Andersen site.

    Anderson Ultimate Fifth Wheel Hitch

    So if your looking for a comparison then you need to compare apples to apples. If your looking for accident potential then compare all, and I mean all, hitches in exactly the same way. The only way your going to convince me that other hitches are better is to do the same exact loading test on...

    For those that don't know about shackles...

    "MorRyde HD shackles and wet bolts or the Dexter wet bolt kit" I'm getting ready to install the correct alignment kit and have been wondering about the shackle selections. I've seen these two available but without specific knowledge of either of them I'm not sure which one would be a better...

    Towmax blowout 2 days ago

    I've been interested in a comparison between what my TST507 says for temperature and what the IR would show. I really don't travel like a lot of you do so does anyone happen to have some comparison numbers you could share showing the TPMS temp is or is not an accurate way to monitor tire...

    Towmax blowout 2 days ago

    I've been looking at other forums for SOB's and this is not just a Heartland issue. If you look at any other manufacture forums I'm betting you'll find the same complaints from other RV owners. I was window shopping a couple of weeks ago and found the same tires on just about every new trailer...

    I believe it's the new funnel design. I had to look twice when I first saw it.

    2016 Rams and up with TPMS

    Last year I had a discussion with TST about the internal sensors that use the band. They said they are switching to them because of issues with tire techs getting the stem mounted ones too tight and causing leaks or failures of the sensors. I didn't ask them however what the range of wheel...

    New Truck (Almost) Now Need a New Hitch

    I have a long bed (8') and use the Andersen ultimate with the pin release located behind the pin box. Don't need to crawl in the box for anything other than disconnecting chains. I also modified the chains to have hooks on both ends which allows easy removal for covered storage. I'm not sure...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    With temps going up in higher 30's I'm look out my patio door at the snow melting off the roof top and it looks ready to go. Oh but wait gonna have a drop this weekend and more snow so I guess she's going to get covered again. I'm thinking I'm going to have to start going south for a few...

    Anderson vs Pullrite

    The steel version Andersen Ultimate is the only one they make that connects to rails or to a gooseneck ball. The aluminum version will only connect to a gooseneck ball. http://www.andersenhitches.com/catalog/gooseneck-mount--ultimate-5th-wheel-connection.aspx I don't know why I didn't notice...

    New Truck (Almost) Now Need a New Hitch

    As far as I'm concerned I'll never use any hitch but the Andersen Ultimate 2. I've been using it for over 2 years without any issues. The centering with the 5th wheel leveling boards guy you mentioned is me. I actually started using them to make sure the hitch was square and centered in the...

    Tight Turn Technology - RV contacted truck cab

    Any pictures of the dents would help. You never mentioned what type hitch you are using. Clarification of what you have would really help with member responses. Swinger type hitches would solve a lot however they must be used with rail or puck mounted 5th wheel hitches.

    Tight Turn Technology - RV contacted truck cab

    Re: tight turn technology I think the maximum amount you can turn is 88 degrees with the modified front caps on Heartland 5th wheels. I never had an issue with my 6'6" bed on the Tundra or the 2500 Duramax but I also didn't need to get in or out of super tight spots either. What model tow...

    If you have a place to install a dishwasher thats not there yet and it's already plumbed in make sure the unused drain is sealed. Others have mentioned this as well. Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk

    Another reading light problem

    If you swap the two bulbs it would tell you if it's the bulb or something else. If the same bulb still flickers it's the bulb. If the flickering stays at the same fixture it's something else.

    TST 507 TPMS sensors dropping

    When I talked to TST they mentioned that the long wire antenna may or may not completely fix the sensor drop out issue but it's a free option to try before purchasing the repeater. I thought the repeater is just a plug and play item that only needs power to work with the system so I don't know...

    To winterize or not

    Once you have gone through the winterization process it will get easier each time. Just make sure you bypass and remove the drain plug on the hot water heater before starting to add antifreeze to the rest of the system. There are many utube videos to help you understand the correct steps. You...

    TST 507 TPMS sensors dropping

    Re: TST 507 TPMS sensors dropping out Amazing what you catch when you read something more than once. My literature says 30+ so I guess I just ignored it since I'm only 26.5' but knowing that the wheel will drop from the monitor with interference or loss of signal would have helpful when it...

    TST 507 TPMS sensors dropping

    My only reason for posting this was to eliminate and minimize frustration if someone is having sensor drop outs and trying to figure out what's causing it to occur. It's a known issue the manufacturer is aware of and is providing a free fix if it does occur. The bottom line is if your having...

    TST 507 TPMS sensors dropping

    Re: TST 507 TPMS sensors dropping out I am definitely leaning toward the repeater and it helps to know someone that's using this with good results. From the picture it doesn't look like the repeater is sealed very well for outside installation. When I mentioned it to the tech he said many...

    TST 507 TPMS sensors dropping

    TST 507 TPMS sensors dropping out This past year I've been experiencing intermittent sensor drop outs. Thinking I had either a battery issue or sensor issue I decided to swap the sensor locations to see if it's a bad sensor, bad battery, or maybe location problem. The batteries appear good on...

    A Super Duty, is NOT a Super Duty

    I understand the vehicle certified numbers however I'm trying to clarify the registration weight question. If my TV and Trailer license plates are both labeled at 12,000 GVW is my tow vehicle is registered for 24,000 lbs. max weight, which is the GCWR you mentioned, or is it just the 12,000 lbs...

    A Super Duty, is NOT a Super Duty

    I need a reality check to confirm what I think is right so I'm going to use my actual rig numbers. My TV certified labels show GVWR 11,600, GAWR-FRT 6000, GAWR-RR 7050, and payload is 3643. My 5th wheel certified label shows GVWR is 11,300 and is 26.5 feet long. I checked the plates and my...

    Need some assistance locating the water heater bypass valve for an Oakmont 392RD

    I assume you open the low drain as well when you blow out the lines. If you forget to close those you could go through 1-2 extra gallons before you realize they were left open. It's amazing how fast that pump can push water. Anyway not wanting to say it happened to me but unfortunately it did...

    A Super Duty, is NOT a Super Duty

    Since you're TV is registered at 14,000 GVWR does that mean that you can load your truck until it weighs 14,000 and legally drive it on the road?

    A Super Duty, is NOT a Super Duty

    A Super Duty, is NOT a Super Duty

    If your TV is registered for 14,000 and your 5th wheel GVWR is around 15,000 do you need a special license to be above 26,000? I need to understand what the advantage is to register a 11,700 GVWR TV at 14,000 (GVWR?)

    A Super Duty, is NOT a Super Duty

    So you're saying I can register my TV for 14,100 even though my GVWR is 11,600? I guess I just don't understand how that works then. I would be very uncomfortable if I was at a scale weighing 12,500 with a GVWR of 11,600 for my TV. I realize they don't chase you down but they do appear when...

    A Super Duty, is NOT a Super Duty

    Hum, so then based on that the max limit is going to be the lower weight of the two maximums either GVWR or tire capacity? If the max limit of the lower one is exceeded what will happen if you're stopped by the weight police? I currently have TV tires rated for 3525lbs (@ 80psi.) x4 = 14,100...
