STORING 5TH WHEEL HITCH.
QUESTION? HAVE A PULLRITE SUPERGLIDE 4400 18K 5TH WHEEL HITCH. SHOULD ONE LEAVE THE LOCK JAW MECHANISM OPEN WHEN STORING THE 5TH WHEEL HITCH OR CLOSE THE LOCKING MECHANISM AND RELEASE THE TENSION ON THE SPRINGS.

- I CANT HEAR YOU GUYS. COULD U SPEAK A LITTLE LOUDER
- I leave mine closed, however I have a 16 reese which opens and locks hooking up.

Closed. I leave about a foot long 1 x 2 up in the in the pin box (It's never blown out of there) to use for tripping the jaws to the closed position.
IMO - it's no big deal either way - but, as another poster said....
sure would hate to have someone lose a finger!

- I LEAVE MINE OPEN
- EVERYONE QUIET DOWN. ALL THIS SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER IS GIVING ME A HEADACHE.
- CAN YOU GUYS QUITE DOWN A BIT. I WAS OVER ON THE TOW VEHICLES FORUM AND COULD HEAR YOU ALL THE WAY OVER THERE.
- I JUST KEEP MINE OPEN.. BEEN DOING IT THAT WAY SINCE 2007 WITHOUT ISSUES..
I KNOW IT DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT, BUT IT WORKS..
