We have been towing fifth-wheels (four different units from four different brands), over 160,000 miles, all over the USA. We have had nothing but Reese hitches (just happened that way) and on the last two trailers have had the TrailAir hitch ed: PIN BOX (the basic model).

We have a trip planned to go from East Texas to Banff, Alberta in July/August. After that trip I will be able to give you a more complete answer, but it looks good at the beginning.
