Getting trailer from dealer home w/out WDH
Hey guys, after all of my threads my wife and I finally decided on a Primetime Lacrosse. We pick it up Saturday. I have an WDH coming in today but I doubt I will be able to get it assembled by Saturda...

I am pretty stressed trying to get everything lined out before Saturday. I don't want to be sweating the hitch when I need to be concentrating on the PDI.
Sorry to say this- but I'm thinking the hitch is perhaps the most important thing to learn about and do in the parking lot with the PDI.
It certainly was for me when I picked up our camper- AND the guy gave really good advice on how to adjust things!
I completely agree. That is why I would rather do it myself, at my place, on my own time schedule. I ordered the hitch thru e-trailer and downloaded the manual. I have thumbed thru the manual numerous times. It does not seem complicated at all as long as your read carefully and take the measurements carefully.
If I were to have my dealer do it I would not trust the install unless I was standing there watching every single move the the installer made. If I am going to invest that time I would just rather do it myself so that I know it was done per the manual and I would have a better understanding of why things were installed the way they were.
x2. Both times I had the dealer install the hitch they didn't get it right. On the 2nd one I knew more than the guy installing it. Coulda, shoulda done it myself but it was free. I still ended up fine tuning it myself at home. The EQ is really easy to install. Just a heads up when you attach the two bars for the L brackets, get some 1/2" conduit to use as spacers for the bolts that hold the plates to the tongue. It will keep them form bending. Just cut them 2" long. I also put a 1/2" weld on the lower part of the outer plate to keep them form moving.
