Reese 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel King Pin Installation - 2017 Northwood Arctic Fox

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Northwood Arctic Fox we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the 5th Airborne Premium Fifth Wheel Air Ride and King Pin with Sidewinder and Turret, part number RP61422. Here's what our Airborne Sidewinder looks like once we have it installed. This is not only going to replace our king pin, but it's also going to give us a rotating turret, which is going to allow us to make a lot tighter of turns. Instead of the pivot point being at the king pin, it's going to moving back an extra 22 inches, which is going to allow us a lot more maneuverability and allow us to make up to 90 degree turns.So in the case of a short bed pick up truck, this is going to allow us to make those extra tight turns without having to get out, flip any switches, or install a slider in the back of our bed. This is also going to have the trailer track more closely to our truck, giving us better maneuverability. It does have a fully enclosed air bag which is going to reduce chucking by up to 60%, and the vertical load shock by up to 44%, which that not only is going to give us a better ride, but it's also going to take the wear and tear off of the frame of our coach as well as keep the contents inside nice and secure.Now, our airbag is easily adjusted with these two bolts, and the general rule of thumb is the lighter the tongue weight, then the closer to the front that we're going to have those bolts, and the heavier the tongue weight, the further back they're going to be. more
