Accurate Trailer Hitch & Welding 661.251.9234

There main work is on trailers. I had them flip my axles on my 5th wheel. Hope this helps - Water-BugExplorer IICheck to make sure that whomever installs your hitch will adjust the 5ers pinbox, if necessary. Both pinbox and hitch height may need to be adjusted for the 5er to tow properly. When the adjustments are made, the bolts MUST be torqued to specification.
EDIT. Make sure that the adjustments are included in the quoted price. A hitch dealer may charge extra to make adjustments to the 5er pinbox. He sold you a hitch and not the 5er. - mileshuffExplorerIn my experience RV dealers tend to be high priced and not very knowledgeable on hitch installs. That may sound odd since they sell trailers but it seems their experience with hitches is limited to low end hitches they may throw into the deal. Every RV dealer I've dealt with had no clue to the various types of hitches and whats needed to install for my particular TT and TV.
Instead I've gone to shops that do nothing but install hitches. Better prices, techs that know what they're doing and staff that can get me the hitch and parts I need. I'll never go to an RV dealer for hitch work again! - jdogExplorerGo to where you bought it.
- therinkExplorerAny place that sells and services trailers (nor just rvs). They tend to make trailer hitch sales and installation a focal part of their business. I wouldn't trust most rv dealership's with drilling into my truck.
Fwiw, I installed my fifth wheel hitch myself. It wasn't the easiest job, but I know it was done right and saved me around $300. It took my son and I around 5 hours. - abc40kidsExplorerCall Curt Hitch and ask for a dealer near you or just google truck accessorie shops near your zip code.
