When we bought our 5th wheel, we had major problems with chucking. I checked out everything with no results. The dealer salesman was no help. Finally, our dealer mechanic had a Reese rep come to the shop. we have a 20K reese hitch on our truck. They changed out the top works on the hitch and the chucking stopped. Our hitch has a one piece hook that wrapps around the pin wheel. The hitch was a little loose. It does not take much. I wounder if a two piece hitch is best.

More from Burke . . . . I think that it is really important to find the root cause of the chucking before adding a lot of equipment. After solving the root problem you can get a good hitch such as an air hitch.
