Used Fifth Wheel in Oregon, USA

Match the fifth-wheel’s pin weight and gross trailer weight (GTW) to your truck’s payload and hitch rating. Use a properly installed fifth-wheel hitch in the truck bed and confirm payload capacity with the truck’s GVWR and payload sticker.

Check frame, axles, suspension, tires, brakes, slide-outs, roof and seals, water damage, appliance function, and electrical systems. Verify service records, VIN/title, and perform a leak test and road tow inspection if possible.

Local pickup with a suitable truck is common. For long-distance moves use specialized RV transport or flatbed carriers that secure the unit. Ensure proper permits, towing clearances, and insurance for transit.

Regularly service wheel bearings, brakes, tires, leveling jacks, roof seals and slide mechanisms. Maintain batteries, propane systems, and HVAC. Follow manufacturer intervals for chassis and appliance maintenance.

Drain water systems, add antifreeze to lines, disconnect batteries or maintain on a tender, protect roof and seals, and support tires and suspension. Store on level ground with covers and occasional ventilation to prevent mold.
