Expert Answers about Thor Vortex Fifth Wheel


  • Trailer Suspension Kit Recommendation for Tandem Trailer Similar to APT5 but With 4.25 inch Hangers
  • Since we don't have the exact kit you need you'd have to piece the kit together that you need. For hangers you'd want the pat # E4139 which is 4-1/4 inches tall like you mentioned needing. For 2-1/4 inch long shackle straps you'd then want the part # 18-11GALV. For the equalizers # TREQE1. And then for bolts # 126B2.

  • Fifth Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter for Venture or Steelco/Davis Pin Box
  • While we have an option for you, the Reese Goose Boxes are only confirmed fits to replace certain Lippert and Fabex pin boxes, so you will need a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter that bolts onto your king pin. For that I recommend the Convert-A-Ball, and you can choose from a standard adapter or one with an offset. - Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G - Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter with Offset # CAB-C5GX1216 These will work so long...

  • Bolt Length of Hardware Kit for Double Eye Springs
  • The bolts in # LC281288 are the same as yours. They're for 1-3/4 inch wide springs with 9/16 inch eyes which is the standard. I went out and measured a bolt in the kit. The 2-5/16 inch measurement is from the head to the threads. Including the threads it's 2-7/8 inches. So you're good to go.

  • How To Determine Fit of the Never Fail Triple Axle Suspension Upgrade Hardware Kit
  • In order to determine if the Never Fail Triple Axle Suspension Upgrade Hardware Kit part # LC281288 will work on your 2004 Thor Vortex 385 5th Wheel Trailer you will need to confirm a few things. For starters, the bushings and bolts are designed for 1-3/4" wide double eye leaf springs that use a 9/16" bolt so you must make sure this is what you have. Then, the shackle straps included with this kit are 3-1/8" long so that will need to match what you have as well. This is the most common...

  • What Causes Trailer Suspension Equalizers to not Sit Level
  • The amount of tilt I see in the pictures you submitted of your equalizer isn't too bad. That could easily be from the trailer not sitting perfectly level. If the trailer is level and it's still tilting this can be solved in one of three ways. You either go with shorter leaf springs, a shorter in width equalizer, or you move the rear and front hangers out about half inch.
