How to Use a MOR/ryde Pin Box with a Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
Question:
I noticed when i tow in a straight line after a turn the hitch is crooked. The trailer tows straight but the hitch is at an angle. I have a morryde pinbox on my trailer and im wondering if this is causing the issue?If i back up it straightens out.

In order for the MOR/ryde pin box to work with your Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550034 you need to have the Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate part # DM6025 installed on the pin box. The lack of this locking plate is more than likely what is causing the head to stay crooked after turning. If you already have the locking plate installed make sure everything is tight and hasn't shifted.
