Before setting out on their vacations, owners of fifth wheel campers need to accomplish a few key preparatory steps. The first is to ensure that the tow vehicle is capable of pulling the load. The next step is to inspect the fifth wheel hitch to verify that it is in proper working condition. When loading the trailer, it is important not to exceed the maximum load rating of the hitch or tow vehicle. The onboard water-holding tank must be sterilized if the recreational vehicle has been sitting for an extended period. A final key point is to ensure that the tow vehicle has enough fuel so that it does not run out of gas should traffic back up.
If the fifth wheel lock-in lever is not locked after the jaws have closed around the kingpin, it means that the fifth wheel coupling is not securely latched. This can lead to the trailer becoming detached from the truck during transit, posing a serious safety risk. It is important to address this issue immediately before attempting to tow the trailer.
