Pin box is rubbing on hitch
I have a trailair pin box on my new rushmore 39 ft fithwheel and hijacker hitch. This is my second fithwheel on this hitch. The pin box is scratching up my hitch. It happens whenever I turn sharp...

I just wanted to give everyone an update on this issue. I ended up taking the 5th wheel to Camping world near Portland Oregon. I have lots of other issues with this 5th wheel.
Here is what Camping world put in their report ...
PIN BOX NOT LEVEL CAUSING NOT TO LOCK
PROPER WHEN CUSTOMER HITCHES UP. PIN
BOX NOT INSTALLED RIGHT FROM FACTORY.
USED FLOOR JACK AND 2X4 BOARD TO TEST
PIVOT OF PIN BOX AND FOUND PIN BOX
FLEXES UP INTO FRONT CAP. 1 1/2" PULLED
LOWER FRONT CAP MOLDING STRIP TO
INSPECT FURTHER, FOUND CRACKS IN WELDS
OF FRAMING, HOLDING PIN BOX IN
PLACE. FRONT CAP NEEDS PULLED AND ALL
WELDS GROUND AND REWELDED AND FRAMING
NEEDS SUSSSETS.
Like I said, there are lots of things wrong with the 5th wheel. It was decided to send it back to the factory so they can fix everything.
In the first year of having this vehicle, It has been in the shop for about 21 weeks. Now its going to be another 3 or 4 Months. I sure wish I could just get my money back.
