hitch

Any one have a banging noise on their B&W Fifth Wheel Companion hitch. I have it when I let of accelerator in prep to stop and at start. I have checked the torque on my U-bolts (80lbs) and the a-frame towers and can not find any play. BTW the B&W is a great hitch Comment appreciated.

Just bought a 2010 Cyclone 3850 and pull it with a 2009 Dodge 2500 Mega Cab. There was some doubt in the industry as to whether a slider hitch was necessary with the short bed. The answer is emphatically "No". My Mega Cab has a 6'3" bed and with the Cylone attached to a Reese 24K Signature...

We are purchasing a 09 Big Country 3490BHS. The truck that we have has a gooseneck adaptor already (installed by previous owner). The dealer told me that if we use this it will void warranty work on the chassis, but lots of folks do this. I thought that we would need a slider hitch (not sure...

Would like to hear from anyone using a 5th Airborne. How well does it work? :confused:

What is the hitch ball size needed for a NC 29RKS?

I,m getting a 2010 BH 3410, and would like to know what hitch it has, because I,m trying to deside on a trail air,mor-ride or another couple of brands and need to know the brand and # of the hitch. Also is one of the aftermarket hitches better than another:confused:

I would like to see Heartland add a Boat Hitch to there option list. Lot's of campers like to tow there boats,and in my case a small trailer to haul my 2 Scooters. Looks like several rv companies have this option.

I'd like to have a hitch receiver on the back of my M-18 so I can use my hitch mounted bike rack...has anybody looked into this? I'm not sure if it will work at all because there isn't much clearance to the ground. I've heard of people making a rack that mounts above the propane tanks but I...

Here a few picture of my hitch cart. The cart is even with the tail gate so one person can install or un-install the hitch themselves in a few minutes

I have a 10000lb version of the Equal-i-zer (http://www.equalizerhitch.com/) hitch for sale. This has the 9" drop shank and 10000lb 2 5/16" ball. I have purchased this system late last year and have barely used it. The ball and mount were used five times on their own, and the bars and...

We will be picking up our 2010 Bighorn 3670RL on the 29th of July and have a few questions. I have been towing Travel Trailers for the last 40 years and will be new to 5th wheels. We are having a 25K Airsafe hitch put in our Truck, a 2006 Ford F-350 6.0 CC Dually with the Tow Boss package, and...

I have a 09 Oakmont and was interested in getting the Trail Air Pin Box but I need to know which one would fit the Oakmont. The number on the side of the factory pin box doesn't match any Trail Air Hitch that I have found on-line.

At the ralley I had the Mor-ryde hitch installed and noticed a big difference in the way it rode. When I got home I was showing it off to my son and he said it looked like it was tilted up in the front. I checked it with a level and sure enough it was tilted up by at least a full bubble. Is this...

I purchased but haven't yet installed,a Draw-tite 18k Signature Series hitch for our 2008 F350 Super Duty LB twin-turbo diesel. We ordered a 2010 Big Horn 3385. There still building it. I'm not sure where on the bed it mounts, but if it is a little behind the wheel wells towards the cab, it...

This is not a heartland product but I thought the inovation was quite unique. Talk about thinking out of the box. I am at Village City, South Dakota. I saw a rig pull in with a Gooseneck. I looked at where they carried the bicycles thinking that was an intresting method. But when I looked at...

just purchased a Sundance 3300 rlb and need a hitch for my 08 sierra 2500HD C.C. 6'6" box. which one should I buy standard or slider?

Just picked up a 287RL using a Pull-Rite SuperGlide 12K. Coming close to hitting the truck rails in some turns. Considering the following; Pull-Rite has 3" spacer rails wich lift the hitch 3", remove the cowling over the pin which gives additional space, or is it possible to lower/lengthen the...

In the 2010 brochure, for example the 287RL, GVWR is 11,600. Dry weight is 7,180 lbs. and hitch weight is listed as 1,440 lbs. If you use 12-15%of the weight of the FW, how do they determine 1,440 lbs hitch weight? I know the dry weight is not the way the FW sits on the lot, so if you add 10%...

I could use some more advice. Your advice so far has been VERY helpful. This time I need it on hitches and bed covers. Relevant background information: We’re looking at getting an Augusta for full-time use and will be pulling it with a 2010 Dodge 3500 crew cab, long-bed dully and will get a...

We are getting a new 3850 in July. I have a Dodge dually with a Reese 15m pro series hitch already installed. It has a bed saver installed on it so I really hate to replace unless really necessary. The garage will be used more for second bedroom then for toys so will never be loaded heavy. Will...

Hello everone just want to let you know we picked up our new BH 3055 RL today and tickled to death. My brain is on overload with all the information I was fed today. This is why I have a couple of questions. I have a 16K reese hitch and when stoping fairly quick it sounds like ther is a lot of...

Were at the dealer yesterday going through the 2900mk and wife and I love the unit. We noticed the sinks had no covers and thought that probably not correct. Sales person could not find any and tried to tell us it does not come with. We have owned several other rv's and that is standard. Am I to...

Has anyone found an EQ hitch that works well with a North Country . The coupler is mounted under the frame instead of the top.Having trouble finding an EQ that will work.

I recently purchased a new hitch from Hitch Mart and installed it on our Bighorn. The hitch is listed for a motor home but fit the frame on the Bighorn perfectly. I am sure it could be applied to most Heartland Units. Total cost was about $280.00 Here is the link to Hitch Mart...

we are looking to order a new 3055 big horn. can a 2" hitch receiver be installed to accomodate a bicycle carrier? thanks, tom

Can someone post some pictures of the hitch and trailer hooked up? I'd like to get an idea about how much distance most people have. I'm stumped on this one. I've seen distances of 1 inch to 6 + inches. Any pictures would be appreciated.

I saw a new thread today about hitches and felt it was time for hitches to have their own forum. So here it is! Here is what I envision being discussed here: 5th wheel hitches 5th wheel tow dollies 5th wheel pin boxes Travel trailer A-frame hitches Travel trailer weight distributing (WDH)...

I recently purchased a used chev 3500 and it had a drop in liner (corregated ridges) and the hitch plates are on top of the liner. They are bolted clean through the bed, but several owners said I should throw away the drop in and get a spray liner---claiming it will be safer than the hitch...

Can anyone tell me what holes they used to attach the pivot arms when installing the b & w companion hitch in a 08 F450 pulling a 09 cyclone 3210.

If you had a choice between the Reese Signature Series 18K with Power Puck, or the B&W Companion 18K with Turnover Ball, for nearly the same price, which would you go with. Or...would you just live with the rails mounted in the bed and not spend the extra money on either system? Thanks for...

Buying a B/H 3580, I pull with a Dodge Mega Cab, on my SOB I went with a sidwinder instead of getting a super slide hitch in fear of sharp turns damageing my unit or truck. Does anyone know if I can easily put my sidewinder on the new 3580 ?? It should just bolt right up to the pin box right ...

I am new to 5th wheels I have a couple questions regarding weights 1. how much weight is in the bed of the truck when connected 2. Is it normal for truck to go down a foot when fifth wheel is connected with legs up 3. when disconnecting fifth wheel you must raise truck bed and camper to...

I think Bighorn uses Lippert box pins - right? If so, anyone know the Lippert part number for the one used on the 3580? Thanks, Cory

The GVWR is 14,000 pounds and the hitch I have is a 16K hitch. It seems logical that the hitch is good to go with a new 3055 OR am I missing something?

For pulling the 3055rl, can I use a Reese 15k hitch? Or do I need the Hitchhiker 16k that the dealer sells? Chris

Has anyone ever removed the bolts and the center pivot pin from the hitch pin plate and lubed them as normal maintenance? Bob:D

Hi everyone, Will be going in to talk with truck dealerships soon. I'm leaning towards either a Chevy Silverado (diesel) 2500HD or 3500HD, SRW. It would be really helpful to know a few examples of actual weights of people's Bighorn 3055RL units (or similar) so I can be sure that we'll purchase...

Can anyone provide some contact information at Heartland who can advise what the factory spec height for the hitch on a 2010 North Country 29RKS is? Thanks in advance.
