Thank you for doing a very through gooseneck hook up , im a woman and im about to buy a 30 , foot trailer for my 3500 dodge duly , im gonna be hauling campers , and cars in about 2 months and I have never been that close up to a trailer to understand High it fully operates and with your video you made me feel very confident that I can do this by myself at the present time I currently drive a 18 wheeler over the road so I'm used to trucks and pulling but not a fifth wheel trailer I've already got my fifth wheel and it's a B &w 26,000 pound fifth wheel imstalled., all I've got left to buy is the gooseneck ball . I will be referring back to your video , you did a great job , and you didn't speed thru correct process , and CONTINUE to make more videos .

Good Video on the procedures I tow with a Chevy 3500 Dually and my 9 pin sockets are one in the front drivers side ( in bed) and one in my Aftermarket Bumper with that configuration I haven’t ever needed any extensions yet it makes it handy to utilize the sockets. For any other 12 volt needs one time when Boondocking on private property in the Winter i needed to run the campers heat but i had too weak of a house battery to power the heaters fan therefore i was able to get a outlet close enough to my Campers plug and run the truck to keep the heat running well enough to stay warm all night long like i said i was on private land so i didnt need to worry about someone taking my truck on me after that trip i did install a new house battery and i generally carried a small Honda suitcase generator/ Inverter as well that i really bought for one of my Boats originally

Excellent instructional with two important suggestions or reminders open the hitch before you put it down on the ball and lock it as soon as it down so you can't possibly forget Always tighten any bolt when you put it on don't do it later Ialways lock your hitch on the ball of all the trailers before you walk away

It's amazing how many times I have watched people repeatedly back up, pull forward, back up again, etc. in the attempt to line up the trailer with the ball. If you can see the ball from the driver's seat, it's not that much of a problem. But if you have an extended cab or a tool box behind the cab, you cannot see the ball at all and have to depend on someone else to guide you into position. On my truck, there are tie down hooks on the top of the cargo walls. I take an elastic bungee cord and stretch it from one side to the other. It's actually just about 2 inches towards the rear of the truck from the ball location. Aligned with the ball, I have attached an orange painted stick to the bungee cord that I can easily see through my rearview mirror. I back up until the stick hits dead center of the gooseneck of the trailer and continue back for another inch or two. 99% of the time, I will be perfectly aligned with the ball and if I am not, I only have to either pull forward or back up less than 1 inch.
@reb10504 жыл бұрын
By the way, using my method prevents backing up too much and hitting the trailer with the open tailgate of the truck as well.

Got any advice on lubrication of the gooseneck and/or ball? .... or anything else (beside of course the wheel bearings)?
@mckrackin5324 Жыл бұрын
@@mondavou9408 I don't go overboard. Just a little axle grease on the ball from time to time. Obviously, if your equipment has grease fittings, keep them greased. I carry a cheap IR temp gun to check my wheel bearings. They should be around 100 degrees F no matter how long you've been driving. If they get way hotter than that, check the grease and the bearings themselves. I start getting concerned at about 115 degrees.

Ya i was did a little bit of research and it doesn't seem like they sell hardly any full size pickups over there let alone the 3/4 or 1 ton pickups that you need to pull this type of trailer. So since those types of trucks are the only vehicles you can really use with this type of trailer, and since you don't have the trucks for it, it makes since that you don't have any of these trailers. Shame though, you would really like it. It allows you to do a lot without the hassle of a massive semi and you can still use the truck for other stuff that require something smaller than a semi or even daily drive them which is not had of you have a high trim level. They can be extremely nice on the inside.

A UTE could only pull a tiny gooseneck. Also a late model 1 ton drw truck from ford or ram can tow over 30,000lbs (13,600kg), there is a lot of stuff you could use that for instead of a semi. Also just looked it up, the standard parking width there is about 94.5in (2400mm) wide and 212.6in (5400mm) long and a drw pickup is 96in wide so as far as width you technically could make it work and you would just have to worry about length which you have to worry about here to as well and all you need to do is park so your rear overhang in in some unneeded space.
