The importance of hitches

           A hitch is a small device attached to the chassis of the car, which makes it possible to attach a fifth wheel camper to a truck.

This is what keeps the camper in place securely, and allows it to slide easily on the road together with the car.

There are several companies that make hitches, but when it comes to these products it is essential that you get a very high quality one.

After all, your safety on the road can depend on such a small thing as a hitch.

Visitor's story....

They have many different types of 5th wheel hitches. The one that is right for your trailer depends on the weight and length of the trailer as well as the length of your truck bed.

If you need a hitch and cannot find one in your state such as Maryland or Maine, you can find them online and the shipping and handling is affordable. Reese has the Pro Series hitches with the rail kits included. The hitches are easy to install and if you need to remove it, it is easy to do.

If you have a 36 foot 5th wheel, you will need a hitch that is meant for that length and weight. The width of a fifth wheel is normally 8 ft and that will not have to be a consideration.

Whether you have 1992 or a 1999 camper you can use any of the types of hitches available from Reese. The Kwik Slide is great for hauling the unit. It comes with a jaw handle that locks and the 15K model has a thirty-three hundred and fifty pound pin weight while the 16K has four thousand pound pin weight. There are other types of hitches as well.

You can also get a hook up sensor along with your Reese fifth wheel hitches. This ensures that you hookup the hitch correctly every time. This is great for backing up and hooking onto your camper trailer. You cut out the in and out of the truck to make sure you are doing everything correctly. This type of help aid is not available for the Signature models.

Take a look at the Pro Series, the models for heavy duty campers, low profile hitches and the Signature hitches. Your 5th wheel adventures are now easier with Reese hitches.
