Well, it's here. Now to use it.

So after picking up my new to me 2013 Ford f350, I've spent a month pouring through every bit of info I could find on fifth wheel hitches. I decided to go with the Andersen Ultimate aluminum hitch. On reason is the ease of lifting it into the bed of the truck. With my previous hitch, I had to call my son and have him come over and help me lift it in and out of the trunk. I know I'll be happy with it, just anxious to get out camping again.

    Now that's an interesting idea. I plan on buying a B&W RVK3600 and those are heavy beasts. That would really simplify removal for me.



    It's awesome Dan, it weighs less than 40lbs.

    Another who just hangs it from the pin.

    Not sure how I could spend a month researching 5th wheel hitches though.

    My Curt hitch is steel and is in two pieces to allow easier removal.

    Sounds good and I hope it works for you. If after having it awhile it doesn't meet your expectations, take a look at the B&W Companion. Definitely not a light weight, but it comes out in two pieces. Here's hoping all goes well.
