I am pulling it with a Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel.Battery ConnectionsI run two RV batteries on my 5er. I want my lights to run twice as long. Is the proper connection + to + and - to -? I have been told some applicatios are + to - on both posts of the batteries. Is my wiring correct because my 5er lights do not seem to run twice as long.Air brakesThe more I use my 5er air brakes during a long windy, downhill run, the more touchy my air brakes become. In other words, when I use my air brakes often they engage with a little more force. Before I leave on the original trip, I always test my air brakes that they will stop me in a matter of 10-15 seconds. Air brakes do not lock up and skid the 5er.Kingpin worry?My 5er kingpin looks like it is bent backwards approximately 1/8". A bubble balance seems to confirm this. I have a Super Glide hitch in the Dodge Ram 2500 diesel. No problems with hitching at all. By looking from behind my truck, I can see the jaws (clamp) close completely around the kingpin as I back into the 5er. Should I worry at all?
