5th airborne

dunno if this belongs in this section or not, but I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the 5th airborn pin box? does it do what they claim, is it worth the $$$ ? thanks

Tom,

CAT just put one on his 3400. You might send him a PM or he might jump in.

Just bought one from Camping World with a $100 cash back coupon to boot. Now I just need a 5er to put it on.

I'll jump in.

We've put about 1000 miles on the trailer since adding the hitch. There is a definite and noticeable improvement, well worth the cost, I'd sure do it again. I remember seeing it in CW, but don't recall the price. We paid $750 installed...but it took some bargaining.

Tom,

CW sends out so many flyers that overlap it's confusing, but the one I used expires this Sunday. Club price is $769 + $67.50 install + $100 mail in gift card. I haven't looked at the details on the card yet, as they are holding the unit and the paperwork until we get our Monty.

It is strange - One CW wanted to charge $70 shipping, and the other didn't. Both had our particular model in stock (replacement for Lippert 1116 pin box). I suppose if you need a model they don't stock, you pay shipping.

Also noticed the fifth airborne was standard on the KZ Montego Bay 5er at the RV show. These were classy units.

Brad

Tom,

We have one and love the way it handles makes the ride for both the TV and the Monty much better. You will not go wrong with this purchase!

we have the Glide Ride from Demco. It severely reduces jerking between trailer and TV. Our necks don't get near as sore. Just google DEMCO Glide Ride.
