New Fifth Wheel - finally figured it out yesterday...

Took delivery of our first ever Fifth Wheel one week ago Tuesday. Last night, I FINALLY figured it out???? Why I have all these cuts, scratches, and bumps on the top of my balding head!

Reason? I keep whacking my head on the trailer fifth wheel hitch box and king pin! I finally caught myself scarfing my head on the thing!

Well ... that explains all the scabs this morning!

  • Get a cheat piece of egg crate foam and wrap the hitch when parked.
    Course the aesthetics leave a little to be desired, but your scalp will appreciate it.

    We often keep a garbage bag tied to the kingpin to put recycling in.... it helps prevent scabs forming on top the head.
