Need to know about a 5th wheel plate for b&m

I have a 40' Horton that I have been hauling hay and straw with.imp: It is great other than thefact that if it is not loaded perfectly it will lean to the haevy side and the further I go with it that way the worse it gets.:doah:


My question is if I were to put a 5th wheel plate in the B&M hide-a-ball how much stability will that add???

 

wont it be rubbing on your bed though?

 

I was thinking about one to go in the B&M turnover ball

 

i dont see a fifth wheel setup making much difference. the way i would look at it is from a center of gravity point of view, possibly stiffer springs, or just load it better.......opcorn:

 

get some air bags, and plumb them on seperate valve stems. then you can adjust the side to side.

 

Not having any trouble with the truck, its is the trailer that is giving me a fit.

I weigh 230 and when I step up onto the deck @ the front corner that corner will drop down about 2 inches . I think that the trailer need some extra bracing on the under carraige also the terrain that I have to cross between where I load up to where I get back on the road is not what you would call "SMOOOOOOOTH as GLASS" either

 

Yeah, sounds to me like a flimsy trailer. Some weld and some bracing should help that out. AS far as a difference between the 2 hitches, I don't think it will help much with the trailer not being very well built.
