Angled hookup

[SuiteSuccess]

Will be staying in a COE park pull through that is “C” shaped. I’ll be facing a situation haven’t really encountered with the HDT in 14 years.  It will involve disconnecting and reconnecting at an angle of approximately 30 degrees. Anybody had to do this and any “gotchas” except slow and easy to avoid side loads to the trailer legs?

That's it!  The back up camera makes it easy.

The only difference is that your usual visual references will be missing.  Jack up your RV just high enough so that you can back under the pin without hitting anything.  Practice until you line up properly, establish your new visual references, lower your camper and have at it.

Carl, our ET hitch would more easily get a bit squirrelly when we came in at any angle. I found getting gap tolerances tighter was the answer.

When approaching straight on, the hitch can depress some and jaws still lock nicely. When at an angle, the hitch tends to slant significantly at the slightest touch, making the lock up impossible. No biggy though, just repeat till lined up with small air gap.

Thanks to all.
