Trailer Saver hitch

With our DB3 we have the adapter kit (picture frame) to fit the puck system on our Ford. It's an available option that allow you to use your puck system. Not a big deal it works great or if you don't want to spend the money for the kit you can still use the old rail system that has been around for years. Like others have said we like the TrailerSaver and would use it with or without using our puck system.

Same here, we have the adapter kit - no big deal to us. Another thing nice about this entire setup is that it comes apart and can be easily stored for the winter.

Clunking banging and rattling is the result of loose parts and connection points on a hitch.

Chucking is the fore and aft tugging that happens between the truck and RV. No hitch will stop that problem.

The TrailerSaver hitches will help absorb up and down pressures from the RV to the TV. Same with a air ride kingpin box such as TrailAire or Airborne.

To help with "CHUCKING" there are two good products, one of MorRyde's pinboxes has dampeners and TrailAire has the TriGlide option for their air bag kingpin box.

The Hensley hitches are top quality but until they step up and make their hitch to where it will drop into the RAM puck system I would not own one because there is no reason to have to buy a picture frame adapter any longer.

Chucking, bucking whatever, it all disappeared with our BD3 we have had for 2 seasons now. I never get tired of watching the trailer moving independently of the truck. Our BD3 replaced a B&W Companion, which is a wonderful hitch, but it is just not designed to do what the Trailer Saver does and that is to provide a cushion of air between your truck and the trailer.

You're right, about the trailer moving independent of the truck. We can look back and see it moving up and down on the hitch or side to side, each way slightly, but don't feel it. As the slogan goes - "TrailerSaver - the name says it all".

An additional note on the price - we previously had a Hensley Arrow and they, Hensley, took it in trade for the BD3. Helped offset some of the cost.

X2 on the trade in and watching the independent movement of the 5'er

My DW gets mezmerized watching the trailer bobbing independantly of the truck, she loves looking in the mirrors on bumpy roads.

BD3 here also, first and only fifth wheel hitch we ever had. Please advise what this chucking thing is.

Rick

No one has answered Rick's question. I, too, wonder what chucking is.

We have a TSLB2H as well. Combined with a MorRyde pinbox the trailer rides smooth.

OK, Chuckleheads! Enough!
