Pin box question
Our 5th wheel will have an AUH. I was curious if when the trailer was off the truck whether the pin box would hold a ball and stinger to mount a basket too?

- To answer your question now that I see what your talking about. The ball will rotate down on the AU, so no what you describe with a ball and stinger will not work
- I really like the idea. I'm thinking that it might be a little over built and sketching up some simpler design ideas.

Very cool! Did you make yours or have it made?
My father-in-law has made me 2 of them (I upgraded my pin box). Hopefully when I buy a new camper, he'll be making a 3rd! :Dependydad wrote:

People (me included) do it with bike racks. I assume a basket should be fine.

- It wasn't a weight capacity question as much as a function question. I don't know enough about how the box works yet to know if what I'm thinking would pivot due to gravity or be able to stay rigid in a cantilever scenario.
- I would sure hope so being it holds 2-3k lbs of pin weight
