[A/S] Class V Hitch Setup

["Dick Martin" <suburbandvr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A class V hitch setup is overkill unless your hitch weight is over 1,200#.
When I went from a 31' to a 34' SOL my hitch weight specification went from
890# to 1,490#.  

The Reese class V receiver lists for around $300, shank is another $100+,
about $700 for the weight distributing sway control hitch and heavy duty
ball.  If not doing the work yourself expect about 4 hours of labor at
$80-$90/hour.  

PS: Going from a 2" to a 2 1/2" creates changes that may not be acceptable.
I had to have a locking hitch pin made because no one is making one in the
longer length.  And I had to give up my shank mounted mud flaps because of
the larger shank size.
