I switched to the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel hitch to help lower the weight in my bed. It really is an amazing setup. So much simpler than traditional hitches. I have the rail mount steel version...

They would not be considered a "light" trailer like my Cougar High Country I don't think. It weights about as much empty as my 299RKS weighted full. I will get it on the scales at some point soon I...

Thanks. I'm wondering how long this one will take for the cap to fade to a dull chalk? My Cougar only took about 9 months and then it was irreversible.

Where are you going to be? We camp along the eastern Sierras all the time but never in winter months so I would love to hear how it goes. Are you going to Mammoth to ski or what?

Just Wanted to Say Good Bye and Thank You!

Deb and I purchased a new 5th wheel today and traded our Cougar HC 299RKS. We loved our Cougar and, man, did I put a lot of work in to this unit. I hope whoever buys it will be very happy with it.

Okay, that's what I was thinking. The larger rigs, with say 19.5" wheels, would require the 35" wheel base. I'll measure mine right now and I'd bet it's 33".
