I am fairly new in the World of 5th Wheels. I have never Towed one. The one DW and I are fulltiming in was delivered to us. I am getting the 5th Wheel Hitch installed in my Truck Monday Morning in Preparation for Traveling in a Month or so. What Part of the Hitch is the Pin Box and What Part is the Pin? I am getting a Lubricating Disc for the Hitch. I was advised to also grease the Pin but I do not know where it is. Thanks in advance.
The hitch is mounted in the bed of the tow vehicle. The pin box is the component that sticks out of the front of the 5er and connects with the hitch. The pin is the grooved cylinder that is permanently affixed to the bottom side of the pin box that actually mates into the hitch. Once the hitch jaws are closed around the pin, the two vehicles are connected together.
Hope this answers your questions.
