Pullrite SuperGlide owner question

Question for Pullrite SuperGlide users. I'm just about to buy a 2700.

What do you do when, for example, you take the 5th wheel in for service and they need to move it? Do you remove the capture plate when you drop it off?

  • If I leave the capture plate on, I hang a red-tag from the king-pin. So far that was stopped them from moving it.

    Actually I'm considering removing and selling the Superglide, the previous owner installed it and I find it unneeded (it's a long bed).
    Between the hitch-unhitch angle, the slight increase in maintenance (over regular hitches) and the weight when I need to pull the hitch I'm wishing I had a regular hitch.
  • Thanks guys. How do you like the hitch?

    Having to be almost in a straight line with the trailer hooking/unhooking an issue?
  • I would leave mine on but after the last trip to the shop, the shop ruined it and bought me a new one so I will probably remove if it goes back to the shop again

    Yes that is exactly what I do. All it takes for mine is a wrench and a hex key/Allen wrench. I have them in my tool kit in the trailer just in case I have breakdown on the road and have to have somebody else pull the trailer.
