can anyone teach me about hitches for 5th wheels. I purchased a Silverback 33il today and need to purchase a hitch for my 2500 6.6 Duramax HD truck. What should I know about them so I buy the right one. Thanks
I bought a AirSafe 25K hitch in 2006. It was my first 5th wheel hitch I ever bought. A friend of mine had a regular hitch that most people buy for 15 years. He had bought this hitch at the beginning of 2006 and recommended it to me.His exact words were: I am not saying it is worth the money. But I like the ride. He pulls his center console boat behind his 5th wheel. He said he forgot the soap bottle on the kitchen counter. And when he got home it was still sitting their. It is at least a hour and 45 minutes from the lake to the house. That was all I needed to hear. I have been very happy with the hitch .I don't even know the trailer is behind me. Their are other good air hitches on the market. None of them are cheap. Just remember you get what you pay for.
If you don't want the truck and trailer in a bind. Buy a air hitch. If you buy a air hitch. Make sure you get one with the Binkley Holland Head.
