I attached a link to the install instructions for the MORryde Flip Tread RV Steps #MR42UR to this page for you to check out as well.

The 'universal' wedge included with the Reese Sidewinder works fairly well with the Reese M5 #RP30918 5th wheel hitch, but our customers tell us that the #RP44FR which is specifically designed for the M5 hitch would fit and work the…

That's a good question because it can be confusing, but the Curt Q16 fifth wheel hitch technically no longer exists, as it was discontinued and replaced by the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch #C16120. The A16 hitch used to be compatible with…

I have attached a drawing that shows how much clearance is needed when you are towing a fifth wheel trailer. You will want at least 5 or 6 inches between the overhang of the trailer and the bedrails. You also want to make sure your trailer is being…
