RV Trailer Hitch Guide

The hitch system is a critical part of safe trailer towing. Fifth wheels and bumper-pull travel trailers use different connection systems.

Fifth wheel hitches

A fifth wheel trailer connects to a hitch mounted in the bed area of an appropriately equipped pickup truck. Correct hitch compatibility, trailer weight, truck capacity and setup are essential.

Travel trailer hitches

Most travel trailers use a rear receiver and ball-style connection. Larger trailers may use weight-distribution and sway-control equipment depending on the combination.

Transport readiness matters

Before pickup, hitch components, coupler or kingpin, safety chains, breakaway equipment, tires, brakes and lights should be suitable for safe road use. Our team can discuss basic requirements for your move.
