5th Airborne Cushioned Pin Box Recommendation to Reduce Clunking
Question:
Is it possible to lock the head of this hitch to eliminate the side to side pivoting? If not do you have a hitch that does not pivot side to side?
asked by: Jason
Expert Reply:
At this time we do not sell a lockout kit that would prevent this Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # RP30047, from pivoting side to side.
If you are looking for something to help reduce the noise and clunking that you sometimes encounter when using a fifth wheel hitch I would recommend that you get a cushioned pin box like a Fifth Airborne Cushioned pin box.
The Fifth Airbornes are pin box specific, check out the chart that is on the FAQ article I linked below to see which one you would need.
