Using a tonneau cover
I have a chane to pick up a Tonno-Pro Tri Fold Tonneau Cover. Will the tonneau cover fold up enough to use the 5th wheel hitch, or should I get a Tonno-Pro Lo-Roll Cover. I just never had good luck in the winter months with a cover you rolled up. I always had to bring it into the house to warm it up where it would streatch enough to catch all snaps.6.8KViews0likes25CommentsSlide hitch or not
I have a chance on getting an 08 F350 5.4L short bedvtruck. The motor would be all right since I onlt pull the 5th wheel maybe 30 miles one way to the campground, maybe 6 times a season. My oroblem is if I would need a slider for the short bed, or can I just usevthe standard non sliding hitch?923Views0likes4CommentsRe: Refurbishing a 5th wheel reese hitch

I've used it on my boat trailer and it's holding up real good. Thanks We-C-USA, We are going to try the primer, then the bedliner trick. I dont want to try and sell it on ebay or buy a new B & W hitch as others have suggested. If it doesnt sell, you are stuck with a used hitch, or you have to lower the price severely to make the sale, you loose out both ways. I appreciate all opinions. It sounds like your idea will work out the best, and cost the least. Reese has sent me a set of new decals for the hitch when it gets repainted. I will try to send pictures when its done.251Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5th wheel cover
Yes you can shrinkwrap a camper/5th wheel. They make mini vents to place anywhere on the wrap to help stop mildew. You can also have a zippered door taped on to give you access all year round to work on your unit to get it ready for next summer trips. The shrinkwrap works the same as a conventenional cover but cheaperin cost. The only drawback is that the cover cant be used again once you remove it. You can reuse the door and vents but thats it.321Views0likes0CommentsRefurbishing a 5th wheel reese hitch
I have a 16k Reese 5th wheel hitch that needs refurbishing. Would it be better to repowdercoat everything, or rattle can the hitch with Rust-Oleum primer and paint? I just want it not only to work good and look good too rather than having a rusted hitch in the bed? What would you do? Repaint or repowdercoat?5.5KViews0likes20Comments
