noisy hitch
Just picked up our new 8281 Rockwood today. We brought it to a local camp ground for a few days experimenting and learning the set up. My big issue is that the hitch seemed pretty noisy on the 100 mil...

OK fellow RV's. This was the results of my noisy fifth wheel hitch. The manufacturer failed to install bushings on the top plate where it swivels. After reading all your posts I got to further inspect all the bolts and nuts. I found the two nuts for the swivel bolts to be loose. Then I discovered the reason they were loose is because there where no bushings and the whole top plate could be lifted 1/4 to 1/2 an inch. So while driving down the road the top plate was allowing the trailer to slam bang and severely wearing the bolts. Its a good thing I stopped when I did. If one of those bolts broke it would have been good bye me and anyone in the way. Took two minutes at the dealers to have a new head installed. Last night I drove to the camp ground, slept in the trailer and brought it the rest of the way home much, much quieter. Thanks for your input.
