Check your locking Jaws!!!!

Even with a flashlight I can’t see crap under the trailer looking up into the jaws ......

I always look under there tho..also look to make sure handle is all the way back in and no gap between the fifth wheel plate and the trailer....

Then a tug test and off I go.

 

You need a better flashlight!


Nothing a few thousand lumens wont cure

 

No..... new eyes.

 

Or you can clean it and spray paint with hivis paint. I did that because yeah I'm old.

 

Or get a Jost.

 

That’s a good idea.

 

I noticed mine this morning (12° below) that the bolt in front hadn't gone all the way in. As much as I didn't want to, I dollied back down and rehooked.

 

Isn’t it fun cranking dolly gear when it’s -10 F?

 

Putting it in reverse and giving it a little throttle will usually push the bolt in all the way.

 

Since I refuse to use low gear?, not fun at all...lol
