40k hitch
Where would a guy purchase one of the 40,000 pound hitches commonly found on the back of truck conversion motorhomes?
Thanks |

I think I'll try getting mine beefed up some more locally. Thanks for the recommendation. |

Call Torklift at their main office in Sumner which is close to you. They already make a 30K hitch and may be able to help you. http://www.torklift.com/index.php/pr...tch-magnum-30k Torklift International 1901 Fryar Ave Sumner, WA 253-261-5586 |

Re: 40k hitch
Thanks Joe.
Since they are close, it might be wise to just drive the mh to them and see what they think. They could probably fix or reinforce what I already have. I have a piece of 1/8" steel plate running vertically with the 2" receiver tube through it. There's a 1/2" plate behind the tube horizontally and a box tube approx 1"x2.5" running at an angle to the old end plate of the semi. Then another vertical 1/8" plate vertical from that. I think it needs some more metal and some triangulation? Hard to describe, but pulling a 3 car stacker it doesn't seem like enough. |

Re: 40k hitch
Mark,, you might also want to try Ballews' on M St. between So.Tacoma Way and Center St. I had them do some reinforcing on my MH this past summer and was pleased with the results. I'm not pulling a 3 car stacker like you,, but I'm thinking they can handle it.
Good luck whichever way you go. Danny Durham |
