Here is the one on the camper I now have. It was made by a hitch shop before I bought it. I made one for my previous camper.

If you go to swivelwheel.com or smarttrailer.com you can see how they work. I built my own.

Here are a few of my hitch and wiring. Everything was fabbed, installed and welded by a hitch shop recommended by the RV dealer.




I modified the front channel iron for the spare tire to have more room for removal and boxed it in the center.

Thanks,

We have more LSU stuff for the 5er than you can count. I did forget to put the new LSU sticker in the rear window that the DW wanted me to do yesterday though.

BTW, we live right across the Mississippi River from Tiger Stadium. We can hear when they score in our living room.

Absolutely EXCELLENT! I haven't been to a game since the 03 BCS Championship in Nawlins. Dad and I went. It was our Christmas present to each other. Take that back, I went to Gainsville in 06. Just got back from BR yesterday. Went to visit MaMa Betty who was in Oschner Hospital off of O'neal Ln, she broke her hip. Stopped by Tiger Mania on Drusilla and I-12 to pick me up a new hat and some television watching shorts. I've got the block letter LSU sticker in white on the rear window of the 5er and the same sticker in camo on the truck. I can't wait till September 5th. Get that sticker on that 5er ASAP

Geaux Tigers!!!




Sorry folks...now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

This might be a little off topic but, if it's legal to double trailer in your home state do you have trouble running through some states where it's not legal?

I know some including myself that pull doubles in states
that it is not legal to do so. If I ever get pulled over I will
make the argument that I drive truck and have a CDL and pull doubles for a living, but I know that its going to be up to the officer
at the time.
