Which 5th Wheel Hitch?
After ten years in a 30'TT, I'm planning to graduate to a 5th Wheel. I drive an F350 long bed diesel. I assume everyone has a favorite hitch, probably the one in the bed of his truck, but what should...

I’ve never personally seen that with any hitch.
I have seen it with all brands on this forum including B&W.
It should never happen with any fifth wheel hitch and is always user error.
Make sure your jaws are closed around the pin and above the bottom flange of the pin. Make sure your release handle is locked. If anything is funny...stop and rehitch. Do a pull test, it’s stupid simple insurance. This is not hard, It’s really not rocket surgery.
I have seen a bunch of cab corners dented due to hitting the cab on short bed trucks but that’s a different topic.
Thanks!
