Re: Removing ford 5th wheel hitch

Chris No sorry, I haven't updated my sig line. This truck is a 2011 F350 Lariat DRW.741Views0likes0CommentsRe: Grand Design Reflection 303 and 337 owners!

Besides that I love mine. We love our 337. We chose it, even though I wanted to go shorter for many of the same reasons as mentioned in this thread. The bathroom was the difference for us. As for the single bowl sink, ours came with the double but when my wife saw the single bowl, she wanted it immediately. Since replacing it was cheaper than a who;e new trailer, I replaced it with the new sink. Same size as the double and same counter cutout. Simple replacement. I got the part number from GD and ordered from our dealer. That said, I do have a double bowl available if anyone is interested.173Views0likes0CommentsRe: Removing ford 5th wheel hitch
Worked on it for a while this morning and gave up for now,before I break something. Need it next weekend for one last trip before winter. I no longer think that the pucks are frozen in the rails. I think that it is simply that the jam nuts are torqued down too tight. The soft steel wrench that came with the truck also came bent out of shape and won't loosen the nuts. A regular 1 1/2 inch wrench can't get in there. I'll have to find another tool or have the guys at work make me one I guess.741Views0likes0CommentsRemoving ford 5th wheel hitch
Okay, what's the secret? We recently purchased a ford f350 that already had the ford hitch prep and a Reese 25k hitch installed. Trying to pull it out this morning and I can only get 1 out of the 4 mounts to turn.I can't even add a little leverage to the arms or they may bend. It looks like they may be frozen in the under bed rail. How can I release?3.6KViews0likes10CommentsReese/Ford prep maintenance
We recently purchased a used Ford F350 that included the Ford prep fifth wheel package and the Reese 25k hitch. I found the grease fitting in the top but am wondering if there is any other grease spots that need to be lubed. There also seems to be a little more slop in the hitch than our old Curt had. Any adjustments for this?836Views0likes2CommentsRe: Crusader?
We looked at the same Crusader model this winter during show season and liked it. It addressed many of the issues that we had with out current unit. We tried to buy but could never work out the numbers. Soon after, we looked at the Grand Design Reflection 337RLS.it has a similar layout to the Crusader but we liked it even better. We did get those numbers to work and have been very happy with the unit and the Grand Design customer service is awesome.228Views0likes0CommentsHelp me decide which route
I'm heading from central Ohio to stay at King's Mountain campground in SC for a couple of weeks while working in Rock Hill. I work there frequently but decided to pull my 35ft 5th wheel down this trip since I will be there for 2 weeks straight this trip. I will be traveling and towing alone this trip. Simple question. Some mapping apps choose I75/Rt40 thru Ashville to get there, other apps choose the WV turnpike/I77 thru Charlotte route. Both routes are within about 20 total miles of each other. I've driven both routes and prefer the WV turnpike. However, that was NOT towing. Anyone think of reasons to choose one over the other? Thanks.706Views0likes4Comments
