Who makes small based 5th wheel hitch?

[D White]

I put a flatbed on my truck that has a 22" by 22" door, under that a 1/2 inch plate across the trucks frame rails. I'd like to find a small based 5th wheel hitch that will set down inside this door that I could just bolt directly to the 1/2 inch plate. Does anyone know who makes such a thing? I've seen a few in pictures but can't find who makes them.



Thanks,

Doug

5th wheel hitch

I tow both a gooseneck horse trailer and a 5th wheel travel trailer. What I did was to have a local blacksmith convert the hitch on the travel trailer so that it uses the same hideaway ball hitch as the horse trailer does. Problem solve!! Hope that helps

there is a product that converts a fifth wheel hitch pin to a gooseneck ball- it connects to the existing fifth pin- Camping World Carries It-- www.campingworld.com-- item 21064

good luck

Holland makes a brutus rocker (small footprint) rated abour 32k lbs. I know Redneck Trailer Supply(303/595-3037) used to have them. I looked at them before I found a used 15k rocker to replace my 14k. They might also make them in single pivot. It has a heavy flange on the bottom so you can drill holes or weld. I can check if you want me to! Craig

small base fifth wheel

Doug 2 5th wheels will fit your needs, Binkly 32k (12" dia. wheel)this unit is sold by Holland but I could not find listed on their web sight. My preference is the FW6200 (18"-26000lbs) Holland unit with fully wear adjustable locking system as the full size class 8 tractor units sold nation wide. My 6200 is on its way into the third truck and no reason to buy any other. May be close but should fit your 22" hole, check specs at hollandhitch.com.

The 12" single pivot is #FW0001 and the rocker is #FW0002-45. Both 32k.

Thanks a bunch, been looking at the Holland hitch on their web site, even found a dealer 20 miles from me.



Thanks again,
