Wed, Oct 27 (Day 33)
Fifth wheel hitches, weight-distribution hitches, and related topics were on the schedule today. Watched videos on the Superglide fifth wheel hitch (looks like an awesome setup), the Hensley Arrow WDH, and Pullrite's travel trailer setup--quite unique (I'd never seen it before).
Then we did a "show and tell" in the parking lot looking at the different configurations in our trucks. One guy has just the gooseneck ball (CLEAN truck bed--did not get a picture), there was a B&W, and another had a Curt. Yet another configuration was the Andersen gooseneck. The instructor has an airbag-equipped fifth wheel hitch (forget the name--pic is of him pointing to the Curt not his hitch). Very interesting looking at the different configurations.
Tomorrow we'll test out of the hitches and towing, so back to studying...
