5th Wheel Latch Kit

I know there were some previous postings regarding this alternate to Blue Ox Bedsaver though I couldn't find them. Here is the link to the other product.

The photos used are for my hitch and I am not financially involved with the product. It seems I ended up being the test for this series. It was very difficult at first because the kit was originally manufactured for the older hitch. There is limited room under the head to apply the bolts to the studs and the rod needed to be longer. Butch will be supplying self tapping screws to the newer kit.

I hope I never get to test it real time but I will still have a little piece of mind. Butch did test on a similar series and it worked though bent the rod which is still cheaper to replace than the Blue Ox.
