Cover for my Jayco 5th wheel Pin Box / Hitch?

Basically........if you hit it once(like I did)........you will most likely never hit it again.

I put a tall orange traffic cone on the ground under our kingpin. My kids never hit their heads on the kingpin, now the slide out that's another story.

Biggest issue is nobody looks up when walking under the overhang on 5th wheels.....head ducking results into head whacking

Pool noodles split and pushed over any sharp points/edges
Pool noodle wrapped around king pin

Then hang a BRIGHT colored ribbon straight down from king pin all the way to the ground using a weight (fishing shot, wheel balancing weight etc) sewn into end of ribbon so it HANGS vs fluttering in the wind

It becomes a 'visual' and will help 'remind' folks big/little to pay attention

Otherwise....let them bang a couple of times. Fast learning scale or helmets for slow learners.


It took me 3 whacks before I got the idea.....king pin once/bedroom slide out twice (it is RIGHT above overhang when exiting from underneath it!!!!!!) :B



On Edit:
Quick goggle search found this at the RV Safe Zone...Pin Box Cushion
Might just be the ticket.....know nothing about them

Yeah I've notice the pool noodle thing - that just covers a small portion of the pin box - I was looking for something more encasing. I spent a bunch of money on the trailer - I don't mind spending a few bucks on something fitted if such a thing exists.

Shorter kids - hmmmm - I'm not sure anyone would trade for my ipad/iphone addicted children. Hopefully some great outdoors will cure then and then they'll be more marketable - LOL.

Maybe get shorter kids?

A few folks cut round pool noodles to size and slice them down the middle. They then slip them around all the edges to prevent banging into steel . . .

Oh my! I hope to arrive in time for Yogi Bear's Birthday Bonanza on Aug 25 through Aug 27. Another bucket item!
