  • Can A PullRite SuperLite 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With A Curt Flex Air Pin Box
  • I reached out to PullRite and they stated that the SuperLite Hitch would not be compatible with the Curt Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC158778. If you're looking to improve the ride quality of your trailer and already have the SuperLite hitch then you can also look into suspension enhancement to help prevent road shock from transferring up through the frame. Adding in some SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs like part # TSS-107-40 can make a world of difference. If this interests you then...

  • Slide Toppers for Forest River Salem Hemisphere Lite 5th Wheel Trailer
  • We have toppers that'll work for 2 of your 3 sliders. For your 12 foot 9-1/2 slide, use # LCV000168109 which is designed for slides measuring between 152-157 inches wide. The longest topper we offer is for slides 188-193-3/4 inches, so unfortunately we don't have anything that would work for your 16 foot 7-1/2 inch slider. For the 6 foot 7 inch slider, use # LCV000168105 Ihich is for sliders 74-79 inches long. I've linked you to a typical installation video.

  • Swivel Jack with Sturdy Pull Pin To Eliminate Jack Movement While Winding and Unwinding
  • I'll start off by saying that part of the play that you're experiencing has a bit to do with the bolt on feature vs. a welded on jack; bolted on jacks are going to have a bit more play on them, but there are some features in jacks that you can look for that will lessen the play/wiggle you're experiencing. First, choosing a top wind jack over a side wind jack will help reduce some of the movement when you're winding/unwinding. Second, a strong pull pin that locks the jack into position...

  • Recommended Cover for a 42 foot Long 2014 Forest River Salem Hemisphere
  • I recommend going with the Adco RV Cover w/Tyre Gards for 5th Wheel Trailer # 290-34858 which is an All-Climate + Wind - Tyvek cover that is compatible with 5th wheel RVs that are 40 feet - 44 feet long. As long as the 42 feet that you measured includes the bumper, spare tire and ladder (but excludes the hitch) then this is the perfect fit for you. When manufacturers make covers for trailers they do take into account rooftop accessories like your A/C units and vents so you will not need...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen with 4" Square Bumper
  • Although towing a trailer behind a trailer, even a 5th wheel, is permissible to do in some states, you will need to check the laws of any states you are traveling through to make sure that the laws allow it. We don't recommend towing in this manner as it can lead to many different complications, but we do realize that it is done. One of the most popular RV trailer hitches that we have is the Curt RV Bumper Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100. This is trailer hitch has a 2" hitch receiver that...

  • Slide-Out Awning for a 7' Slide-Out
  • Yes, a 7'1" slide out awning will fit. The Solera RV Slide-Out Awning # LCV000163287 is a 7'1" slide-out awning that works with RV slide-outs measuring 80"-85" which will work for your 7' slide out which makes it 84". You need at least 7" of clearance on both sides of your slide out box, so as long as the 8" from your awning is the same on both sides this slide-out awning will work out great for you.

  • Recommended Trailair Air Ride Pin Box for 1621 Pin Box on Trailer
  • The Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC158778 referenced in your question is an upgraded pin box that is designed to replace the Lippert 1621 pin box like what you have. This will work great on your trailer and provide you with much improved handling and a nice, cushioned ride. This does indeed have a higher 21,000 pound weight capacity when compared to the standard pin box that it is replacing. With this in mind, you will still need to follow the trailer's original weight rating...

  • For your 2013 Forest River Salem Hemisphere Lite, the Replacement 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Follow Leg w/ Snap Pin for Lippert Components RVs # LC179014 is most likely the correct replacement. It has an outer tube height of 29-1/2 inches and a distance between the bracket stops of 17-1/2 inches outside to outside and 15-1/2 inches inside to inside. I've attached a diagram to assist.
