Hitch Saver?

It has caught my fifth wheel pin three times when I for one reason or another neglected to close and lock the jaws on my Reese 15k slider hitch while hitching. It without a doubt is a no brainer for the nobrainer like me that would have be been in trouble at least three times had I not had it. Get one or start working on your excuse why you dont need it for when you drop the fifth wheel in the bed of your truck and do a couple thousand dollars worth of damage.

Thanks for the info guys, that is just what I was looking for.

I went with Butch's just to ease my paranoia.
