First timer with 5th wheel hitch question
n July I purchased Chevrolet 3500 Duramax. I had previously had a 5th wheel hitch in it. The prior owner told me he had a Reese 16,000 lb non slider hitch that was in it. He was selling that hitch separately and offered it to me. I was thinking I wanted an auto slide and did not purchase the Reese. A local RV repair shop knew I was looking for a 5th wheel hitch and contacted me and told me they had a consignment pullrite auto slide 16,000lb auto slide that the owner wanted $700 for and they would install it for $500. When I asked why the price would be $500 for a truck that already had a 5th wheel hitch in it, they said they install them differently and drill holes into the frame as they felt that was a better, safer method. I know nothing about 5th wheel hitches as I am coming from a TT. Does this sound reasonable that the frame should be drilled into to support the pullrite hitch?
