It takes significant torque to bring mine back to 50 lbs after hooking up. How far can u turn after hooking? 1/4,1/2. full turn?? What is your pin weight? It's odd some are having to re-torque while other like myself don't. Bed Flex?? :h 3/4 turn698Views0likes0CommentsAnderson Ultimate Hitch WARNING ***WARNING
Email between me and Anderson Customer Service: Jim, Thank you for contacting us in regards to our Ultimate Connection Hitch and due to some flex in the bed of the truck we have changed the torque sequence on the base of the hitch to ensure it is snug when towing. Place base over gooseneck ball and pin to the gooseneck ball Tighten upper bolt to 50 ft.lbs of torque Lower Trailer onto pyramid base (prior to tightening the two lower set bolts) Re-torque the top bolt to 50 ft.lbs in case any flex of the base or bed came into play. Tighten the lower two set bolts on the coupler tube to 40 ft. lbs. Thanks, Dave.

So as I previously stated New to 5th wheels but not rv,s. I bought a 2015 36'10 Jayco and pull it with a 2011 F250 Crew Cab 8" bed, 4x4 Power Stroke. Connected with B&W Turnover and Anderson Ultimate. My biggest question is how to avoid low bridges, branches and other hazards that I would like to stay clear of. I have found multiple apps for the smart phone, What works for you guys? On another note pulled her home from the dealer (3 hours), pulled her to my northern MI property (3 hours) for a week of dry camping, and back home again for another three hours. Truck pulls the 5er real nice. Really had no problems with the exception of not re-squaring and re torquing the Anderson ultimate, this oversight was on the stupid side. I need to have a 7 way installed in the bed and get a set of Anderson safety chains. Truck was previously used for towing a so I am really surprised there is no 7way in the bed.2.3KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Roof top ac require 50 amps?
