Best Trailer Hitch Options for a 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

I have a 2015 Open Range 5th wheel RV 3x 427 BHS. Do you have a receiver hitch that will fit this trailer and not void the warranty on the chassis

We have several possible trailer hitches that you could use on your 2015 Open Range 5th wheel trailer. But you will need to check with the trailer manufacturer to make sure that a hitch can be installed. I have included a link to the right of the RV/Trailer mount hitches that we carry.

I recommend a frame mounted hitch because it will be the most sturdy. You will need to look at the frame width ranges on the frame mount hitches. The frame width is measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other.

Regarding the warranty, consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle (or in this case a trailer) and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle actually caused the problem in question.
