hitch

I am a retired women traveling alone currently driving a 98 21” Stratflyte with a tow car. Now interested in upgrading to a 5.0TA fifth wheel but worry I may not be able to hitch up by myself. Any advice?

My Dodge 3500 has only 1 camera in the tailgate. Nothing to view the 5th wheel hitch or backup camera for the camper. Can anyone recommend a good camera system that is easy to install on a momentum?

ETI offers 3 hitch options for the E17B: (1) an Equalizer hitch; (2) Equalizer hitch with sway control bar: and (3) E2 integrated sway control and weight distribution hitch. How do these differ? I’m thinking of purchasing an E17B, and tow it with my Toyota Highlander. I’m a newbie for trailer...

So... I have been poking around a bit, possibly looking to upgrade the TV as we also pull a sizable boat. If we buy, we want to buy with some future proofing included, so skipping the 250 and going to the 350. I thought maybe some would be interested in another sampling of door stickers from a...

All, We are (hopefully) in the final process of getting our 5.0 order together. Unfortunately, we do not have a tow vehicle yet and are in the process of researching trucks. The order form requires us to provide information on our truck. My question is, if you have a 5.0TA is there an issue...

After much research I bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee and it is a great car. It can pull 6200 Lbs and comes with a full size spare. I plan to tow a 17' Escape. What recommendations for the Hitch and sway bars does anyone have when using this as a TV? What experiences do other Grand Cherokee...

We have only had the trailer for a year but this problem started on our third trip. The battery doesn't hold enough of a charge to run the hitch(or the slide). We read all the threads about everything that drains the charge while in storage so every time we stored the trailer we removed one of...

I recently bought a Reflection 290bh and am now thinking about wanting to tow behind it some atvs, I don't think that the Factory rear hitch has that capacity (unless I am wrong). What is the current capacity, if anyone knows? And if it can't tow that much weight behind (which I think is the...

I am looking to buy a medium sized inverter generator (Honda or Lefan) and am debating how to lift and transport it when I boondock. The truck mounted hoists seem to fit the bill but they seemed too messy to work with. My wife (boss) asked me to look into the hitch mounted carry trays. I'm sure...

We are in the process of ordering our escape 21'. We have a Ram 1500 with a 5.7 V8 and a built in brake controller. Which hitch should we order? The Equalizer hitch (Pro series 600lb Trunnion) the equalizer hitch with sway control or the E2 Fastway integrated sway control and weight distribution...

Selling the 1/2 ton pick-up and fourth travel trailer. In late March/early April will take delivery of a F350 and Reflection 307MKS. Sorting out hitches now, all new to wife and I. A little apprehensive at 70-yrs old but see plenty of inspiring senior RV'ers.

Just purchased a new 2015 380th... Had it delivered to a campground for the next two months while my truck is being built. We have a '15 Tundra which won't pull it so I ordered a '17 F350 King Ranch SRW with factory provision for fifth wheel and gooseneck. 6'6" bed. The tow capacity of the...

I have a 2006 Ridgeline and a 21' trailer to pick up at the end of this year. I have looked through the forum over the past several months and read a lot of back and forth discussion on whether to use a WDH with the Ridgeline and whether it is even necessary. It seems like some Ridgeline owners...

Trying to finalize our 21' build sheet by tomorrow and having difficulty with selecting a EQ hitch - or not. We will wait till May to pick up so we can attend the 2016 Escape Rally as one of our first stops. I have been pulling a 17' Casita with my 2014 Toyota Tundra 5.7 V8 2WD and don't even...

We are towing a 21 with a honda pilot. Working well! One problem. When driving up or down a driveway curb cut the hitch wheel scrapes. Sounds terrible, probably damaging the wheel. It is cranked up as far as it goes. Do we search for a different brand? Trailer is perfectly level when...

I've been reading all about hitches and it sounds like each marriage between tug and trailer is unique. I'd welcome any suggestions on what hitch to get with an '06 v8 4Runner (2wd, rated for 7300 pounds). My thought is that even though the 4Runner may have the power, it could be pretty small...

I am a new member to the Escape Forum seriously considering ordering a 21 or 5.0TA. We now have a 2010 F150 Supercab with V-8, max tow package and a 6 1/2 foot bed. It also has a nice shell on the back with lots of dry storage space ;). Keeping the shell would preclude any fifth wheel and I...

All, My wife and I are looking at purchasing a GD Reflection 303RLS. This will be our first Fifth wheel after owning a 1983 kit TT for years and while we have done much research I still have a few questions. I have a height restriction of 12' (the height of the garage door threshold) and I...

Just ordered a 17B and would like to know your opinion on if a Andersen hitch is worth the extra cost. Going to be towing with a 2008 RAV4 V6 with the trailer package. Thanks

Okay.. So I am waiting on a new Reflection 27RL and I plan on pulling it with a 2014 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3 and the standard bed 6.5' I have equipped it with load leveler 5000, a cool air intake, an additional tranny cooler and an engine programmer. But the real question is in what hitch to...
