Re: Hitch Recommendations?

Hi Deankoe,

I bought a Silverado back in July with the 5th wheel prep. I'm guessing one of the first. As far as hitches go, there isn't much choice yet. I believe only B&W and Curt are making...

Hi Covered,

bhickey, federal law says vehicles aren't allowed to be taller than 13'6", unless oversize permitted and I don't think any RV you ever get will be that, so a 14' door should be good.
