Hooking up 5th. wheel-
1. Paint a white 1/2 in. strip on the front and center of the plate hitch
2. tape a 1/2inch piece of tape on the inside of your back window. It only needs to go about 1/2 way up the rear window.
3. visually line up the rear window tape with the center of the trailer hitch and back up very slowly. When your trailer hitch is about 4" from the truck plate, stop. Get out and visually check the level of hitch plant and the trailer hitch or the white plastic disk if you use one. I recommend using one. Very imporant!!!!!!Raise or lower the trailer hitch until it is about 1" below the truck hitch plate. Now continue backing up slowly making the trailer hitch gently slide up on the hitch plate as it slightly pushes it down. Keep backing up until the you hear the hitch lock. Job done:)
