Wet Bolts
I have a 28ft 2010 Cougar and want to install wet bolts but do not have a proper place or equipment to do so. Has anyone had them installed by an RV shop and how much did it cost? Would I be better ...

There's a "sticky" thread on the travel trailer forum that details wet bolts/equilizer installation. Very good pics and instructions... encouraged me to do that mod several years ago. :)
Can't remember the exact cost of the kit, but if I would have bothered to check having them done, I would have never touched that fifth wheel myself to save a few dollars. I had the equipment, but for a 200.00 price tag, its not worth doing yourself, as long as its a reliable shop. I did go one step farther fabricating ,and installing the X-Factor style braces on all three points when doing the wet bolts.
Although there's nothing wrong with saving a few dollars... I'm more interested in... (who's to blame if the job isn't done right)... everybody picks what they're most confortable with.
I am always comfortable with doing it myself, I wouldn't do if I didn't think I have the expertise to do so. Most of the time in my case I feel I will do a better job, and installing wet bolts is far from rocket science, its pretty much just wrenching, and not all that fun.
