Trailer supply line problem

Do you have the spring that goes over the line from the glad hand?

 

I went to rubber and I'll never go back.

 

Do you have a slide bar?
They make a retractable deal that bolts to back of the truck,don't remember the name of it.

 

Kinda like these.




OR a swivel like this.

 

Plastic+cold weather+kinks is not a good combo. Rubber airline would likely be better suited.

 

I have rubber lines on my truck now way better then the plastic lines... Plastic ones get brittle in the cold weather... If you want rubber lines and are worried about them touching the deck plate just run them through the center of the electrical line. I have a pogo stick on my truck and the lines are a little long so this is why I did and I don't have a problem with the deck plate....

If I were you I would go with rubber lines and do what I mentioned.. Worst case you get a pogo stick as well which woulds great.... Or like someone mentioned if you have a slide bar on the back of the cap get the springs that attach to that and run the lines from there... Either way I'd suggest rubber lines....

 

I'm sure you can probably have them made to length but I am not sure... My work buys them pre-made and I find them to be a bit long but that is why I feed my through my electrical line since it's coiled. You gotta have them longer which is why a slide bar or pogo stick is good, since they do not extend longer like the coiled crappy airlines... I still rather have the rubber lines even though you gotta deal with the length of them. You can probably find a company around to make them to length..

 

I prefer them long, but my truck isnt married to one trailer.
