Sometimes when you are staying in an RV full time, things fail.

And also at times, important things break in the middle of nowhere.

Recently, I damaged both of the RV trailer hitch rails attempting to back into a tight spot at our RV car park. I had been trying to loosen up the RV hitch from a “tow” position to the “maneuver” position and the darn thing bent in the bed of our truck.

The RV trailer hitch is a extremely important equpiment that are used to tow the fifth wheel RV. When it is broken, you are not moving anyplace soon.

And if the rails are bent (even lightly), you cannot take a chance on it and begin driving along with it.

Must it be mentioned that if you are RVing full time across the country along with a spouse as well as 2 kids, you don’t like the 5th wheel RV to drop of the back of a pickup truck?

We’ve got a Reese Sliding Hitch, and not surprisingly, we don’t recommend you get that equipment

We all do advise using the Husky RV Sliding Hitch instead.

Compared to the Reese Sliding Hitch, the Husky RV Hitch carries more support on the RV hitch rails because they are actually screwed onto the frame of the pickup truck. And since its so stable, you are more unlikely to bend one.

The Reese rails are bolted in the bed of the truck.

I am no technical RVing guru, but it does not appear like a excellent thing when you are carrying 6 tons.

When we purchased our truck, we’ve got the hitch as the extra from the car dealership (the other place we don’t really recommend – but shall remain nameless) and they gaveus all the cheaper hitch.

What are the chances for a car dealership actually doing that?

$537.99 and also a beautiful journey to the Wisconsin country side later, we got our own RV hitch rails repaired out in Wisconsin at Mound View RV in Belmont, Wisconsin.

Thankfully that RV stores in the Mid west are almost as very common as corn fields.

By chance you’re considering about RVing full time, prepare for the things failing and also plan for all the things not going just exactly as you have prepared it – even if you planned it as well as you could.

Things always go badly, especially if you’re 100 % full time RVing novices just like us.

However get up again, analyze how to solve your main problem and get it done. Even if it can cost you some money to make it done properly, you should not be skimpy or cut corners when you’re hauling a 6 ton RV behemoth.
