Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Who has one now and are you happy with the result ?

Time is approaching fast for us to make a decision on what kind of hitch we are going to have installed on the truck. ( I am leaning towards AIR ) 
I believe the fifthwheel we'll be getting will have a MOR ryde pin box on it.confused

Here is a link to a discussion of this on Jack Mayer's website:

http://jmayer6.tripod.com/id4.html

Jack is pretty technically astute... he's posted here before and always gives good advice. I think I read a post by him somewhere where he said the hitch is one thing you don't want to skimp on, in his opinion... Your whole house and all your possessions are riding on it after all if you're a fulltimer...

Hope that helps.

We have the Trailair on our fifthwheel and wouldn't be without it.  Our last fifthwheel didn't have one and there is a remarkable difference.  Much smoother ride for you in the truck and your stuff in the RV.  It eliminates all of the "jolts" from pot holes and concrete expansion joints.  I would rate it with five stars and two thumbs up.

We have the Mor Ryde pin box and a regular Reese 18K Signature hitch and we don't know the trailer is back there.

FWIW,

Fred

We have a Trailer Saver air ride hitch. This TS has been in 3 different TV's and will fit in the Reese or Valley Huskey bed rails. Don't think you can get any better air ride hitch than a Trailer Saver just as the name says. It will save a lot of stress on the frame and things don't move around inside the 5er. We don't remove anything from our counter tops, like coffee pots, can openers. Good Luck with your Choice. GBY.....

Now that is a statement I made once. I will have to tell you the story sometime. I think you can almost guess what happened!

I'm not sure I want to know smile.gif I hope it didn't hurt too bad. ouch

Anyway, I'm just adding to the other posts, I have a MorRyde Suspension and Pin Box and a standard 4-way Reese 16k hitch, and with all of them working together, most times I forget the trailer is back there.  I also have a bedsaver in case I have one of those days.

We have just purchased our truck and we are looking for a 5th wheel hitch to go into the bed. I understand that an air hitch in the bed or a Mor-Ryde pin box on the trailer will make alot of difference in how the trailer pulls. My question is would having both be over kill or if that would make it that much better? We are looking at either a Cameo or a Sunnybrook fifthwheel and they both have the Mor-Ryde pin box on them.

We have a Trailer Saver air ride hitch and think it is wonderful. I think that the addition of a Mor-Ryde pin box would be redundant and unnecessary. The Trailer Saver uses both air bags and shock absorbers. It also has the advantage of being moveable to a new truck when the time comes to trade.
