The coupler is now sitting loosely on the pivot arms and can be lifted off and set aside using the handles located on either side of the coupler.Ģ. Remove the two saddle lock pins holding the RV coupler to the RV pivot arms. Uninstalling the hitch is a process of several steps.ġ. Removing & Reinstalling the Companion Model 3000 If there are two U-bolts attached to the RV post on your Companion base, you have the older model 3000. This document in no way challenges the quality of the Companion. The result is a sturdy, high quality hitch with a superb safety record. We also championed the ability to have a rail-free bed when not towing, with a single point attachment to the mounting system. We did that by offering a truly versatile hitch that has many desirable features including jaws that tightly fit the king, and a coupler that is cushioned and pivots in four directions. When the Companion was engineered, the goal was to raise the bar in the 5th Wheel Hitch industry.
Any product that prevents the king pin from rotating within the jaws of the Companion with a wedge or other device and moves the center of rotation to a point other than the locking jaws should not be used with the Companion. Therefore, we strongly discourage the use of our Companion 5th Wheel Hitch with one of these pin boxes. We are concerened that moving the pivot point rearward as much as 20 inches puts stress on the hitch (and the truck) that has not been widely studied. It is our opinion that this configuration creates stress loads that fall outside the normal testing done on 5th wheel hitches. This product replaces the pin box on a 5th wheel trailer and changes the pivot point from the hitch jaws to a point rearward of the hitch. We have been made aware of a product that is of special concern. Doing so will void our warranty, but more importantly, could create a safety issue. As a rule of thumb, we do not recommend any products that is used in conjuction with our mounting system that has not been manufactured and tested by B&W, even if that product states it can be used with B&W products. Because of our commitment to exceptional design and quality, we often see products on the market that refer to B&W products or state that they can be used with B&W products. Thanks.At B&W, there is nothing more important to us than the safety of our customers. I will look to eTrailer when I have things I need for my Keystone Laredo 2011 266rl. I found eTrailer's online videos helpful along with information I found online too. I wish Keystone would have had that in the owner's manual. The key lesson I learned is that routine maintenance (lubing) is needed for the leg gears and screws. This made for better alignment of the motor to the gearbox. I used plumbers tape to make a sling to support the motor. In my case, the motor was sagging down against the drive shaft, which caused rubbing against the motor housing. If it works, you have saved the time and effort to pull the legs.
If the fuse blows, it is safe to assume the leg drive gears on one or both legs need to be replaced. Reattach gearbox, motor and test the operation of the landing gear. (This will not help diagnose problems with the screw, screw nut, etc.) If no obvious damage is evident, lube the gears and screw on both legs. Check landing leg gears for obvious damage. If damaged, replace with correct gear box. Pull gear box and check for damaged/broken gears, shaft, etc. I would suggest eTrailer may want to suggest the following diagnostic steps when asked about blown landing gear motor fuse: 1. After studying the landing gear situation, I learned a lot.
