First of all I love this hitch! We used to get slammed so hard I thought the rear axle was going to break, lol. The problem is and always has been for five years now it throws grease all over the bottom of the 5er behind the king pin. Probably my fault putting in to much grease. I'm thinking about making a couple of shields out of sheet metal mounted up and down along the inside edge of the hitch to 'catch' the grease when its thrown. What do you guys think? Anybody else have this problem?

My guess if you were getting slammed so hard you thought the rear axle was going to break, your 5er is just beating the he!! Out of your great mask the issue hitch!
Your 5er has a suppension issue, or weight balance issue I see it is a MS so assume it has shocks, does it tow level? Do you have enough pin weight 20% to 25% on a 5er that heavy.

I had a Travel Supreme for the first couple of years having this hitch. I think your right about issue's with the Travel Supreme. It had shocks, I even put 17.5 wheels on it but still had blow outs. I even went to Mor/ryde and got the IS put on. All this helped but there was still a problem somewhere. My Mobile Suites is really heavy, 25% pin weight. I haven't had very many problems with it. I'm level and the TS was too.
