He Mounts Fifth Wheel Hitch On Front Of Pickup
Merle Bonnes found that trying to back an 18 1/2-ft. camper trailer into a shed can be a difficult job, especially if there's only 1 ft. of clearance on each side of the door. The Lansing, Minn., farmer solved the problem by mounting a fifth wheel hitch on front of his GM 1/2-ton pickup.
"It's a lot easier to see what's going on when you can look through the windshield instead of into a mirror," says Bonnes.
The fifth wheel hitch - a commercial Reese model - bolts to the top of a rectangular frame. The frame bolts onto the chassis under the pickup's front bumper and to the bumper itself.
