Noobies!

The last camper we owned was a 1972 Nomad 10.5 foot slide on....! We still have the 1972 GMC K2500 truck.... but the camper is long gone!

We have a new (to us) 2006 Keystone Hornet 27RLS... and we'll be pulling it with a 2013 K1500 Chevy....

We towed it a few miles home with a weight bearing hitch, but knew that some sort of weight distributing hitch was in our future...

Sooooo..... today I got the real workout, torquing all of the fasteners on a 10K EQUAL-I-ZER Hitch... from 60 foot pounds to the gonad straining 430 foot pounds of the 2 5/26 ball......

Finished everything and all is within specs..... hope to be contributing some mods in the future..... I've been reading what others have done and it has given me a LOT to think about ....
