Regular maintenance goes a long way.

Caring for Your 5th Wheel Starts with the Frame

Owning a 5th wheel is about freedom to explore — and responsibility to protect your investment. Road salt, ice-melt chemicals, and debris can accumulate on your trailer’s frame, especially after long hauls or seasonal travel, leading to accelerated corrosion if left unchecked. Regular frame wash downs are a simple but vital part of long-term ownership.

After winter trips, extended highway travel, or exposure to harsh conditions, take time to rinse the underside of your 5th wheel. Focus on areas where salt and grime collect to preserve structural strength and prolong the life of your coach.

Additional Truck-Trailer Clearance

Turning clearance is absolutely essential for 5th wheel towing, especially when you combine a short-bed pickup truck with a large camper. Add the extra clearance you need for stress-free towing with our 5th wheel sliders. These units allow the coupling point to slide backward several inches, increasing clearance between the truck cab and trailer overhang and promoting safer, smoother maneuvering.

Stopping Power

A brake controller is essential for properly operating the electric brakes on your 5th wheel RV. But not all brake controllers are created equally. We have invested heavily in our brake controller line, bringing new technology to the market. Explore our world-first Echo mobile brake controller for a low-profile look and feel, or the Assure with tactile buttons and a dynamic screen that shows full text readouts.
