Chucking?

Most chucking, if not all, can be prevented by moving the center of hitch forward of the axle. With short bed trucks, the tendency is to mount the fifthwheel directly on or behind the center axle. I have never experienced chucking in my own trucks. I have installed all my hitches 1"-2" forward of rear axle. I will never own a truck to pull a fifthwheel with a short bed.

Cheapest way to prevent chucking? Don't buy a RV.

Seriously, have nothing of the sort w/ our B&W Patriot.

Well the other day while shopping for 5th wheels they were showing me the hitch attached to the trailer with these white rubber bushing & saying this helps for something like 500-800?

Light pin weight will cause chucking

Nose High towing can cause chucking

To much clearance between hitch jaws and king pin (slop) can cause chucking
