Chucking
Could someone explain what chucking is? I have pulled a fifth wheel for thousands of miles and either I have had chucking and didn’t notice or I didn’t have it.

Thanks, the video was good. Maybe I don’t feel it because I use an Andersen Ultimate hitch
I also use an AUH but it still chucks badly, so I don't think this hitch solves any chucking problems. There are volumes of posts and articles about chucking and everyone has an opinion about remedies. Many have spent serious money trying to eliminate it yet can not narrow it down to one single solution. I think it is a natural relationship with the TV and the FW with a lot of different things that can influence the event. Weight, pin weight, FW height, weight distribution, hitch location, FW suspension, TV design, road conditions, etc, etc. I found the best and least expensive solution was to install a $400 MorRyde pinbox. It does not correct the chucking but simply dampens and absorbs the jerking motion enough that you can live with it.
