    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub 5th wheel lube plate

    Are lube plates one size fits all or do I need a specific size matched to your pin box and/or hitch? I see 10" or 12" but I'm not sure if size matters when it comes to lube plates. Also a simple $12 nylon plate or something a little more space age? I have a 2022 295 RL with a turning point...

    My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum Hub Hitch height

    I found a 23 BHE some distance from home and so far it looks like a winner. Does anyone know the hitch height on a 23 bhe? I assume the xls 23 series would be the same. I need to buy a hitch before I travel 9 hours. Is Equalizer 4 point the cats meow?

    This is a Tale of Two Couplers. Or, maybe, three, depending on your perspective. I recently purchased a Bulldog Part No. 028287 7,000# Collar-Lok low-profile latch coupler. When it arrived, I was underwhelmed. It was rusty, the locking mechanism was too stiff to operate by hand, and the...

    Escape Trailer Owners Community, RV LIFE Forum Hub Which level to trust

    Just took delivery of our 2019 19'. The level attached to the side of the trailer left of the entrance reads a half-of-a-bubble different than the one I plan to install on the hitch. My first inclination is that the one on the hitch would be more trustworthy? Thoughts? Jeff
