On my B&W its easy to see the jaws around the pin. And the closed and pinned release arm.
and pull test doesn't take place of visual inspection
The safest thing to do is a visual inspection. If you are high hooked, a tug test may not indicate this.
Instructions unclear. 5th wheel now cemented in bed. Rv converted into 9 wheeler
What if the brake doesn't engage?
Great tip, thank you Chad 😊
In the trucking world, we call this the "Tug Test"
Not true look at a demo recon when it locks jaws close then a sliding bar slams across it is certain no pull test needed check it out
Great advice, as a truck driver I call it the tug test, trailer brakes set , tug on the trailer if you don’t go anywhere you’re hitched 👍🏼
Great advice Chad. Thank you!
Saw your checklist online but it was custom to you. Do you have or know where I can get a more generic dry erase one that includes hooking up and unhooking 5th wheel? As much as we love Daisey and the Indian those would not pertain. Thank you
PS wouldn't allow email to be sent on website for whatever reason.
Hey Chad, extremely good hint good job!
Hi Chad..this is good advice for rvs…however…not for commercial hitch…I drove for 48 years super loads…seen way too many drops because of not getting out and looking at the jaws…pull test does not always work on commercial hitch…take care J&A
Avoid the “dents of shame”! Do this every time you hitch. Don’t forget like I did.
Why should I with my Gooseneck ball connection?
Do you feel like you’re in a real MC wearing combat vet association patches?? Funny how all you have to do is send money and boom you get patch’s 🤣😂🤣😂
Very good advice! We also have a visual inspection of the closed jaws on our checklist, which is also a good idea (I do it for her, not me! LOL!)
Getting both landing gear to one inch is difficult because one goes all the way up then the the other!
Yep! Everytime.
Thanks Chad. We've done the pull test on every hitch-up since our first fifth wheel in 2001 but didn't think to raise the landing gear an inch just in case! Keep the videos coming.
