Orcas Tow Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Had a call for a brand new custom 15,000lb fifth wheel that was delivered yesterday, the delivery driver could not make the 15% + driveway so he left it in place 1/2 way up the driveway. Luckily there was a back way in to the property, Nick & I showed up with our 2018 F450 4X4 with a Chevron 408TA & our 2001 F550 4x4 with the Chevron 408 & home made fifth wheel hitch, hook up the 550 & hooked the 450 the the front tow hooks on the 550 & attempted to drive them up together but were unsuccessful, 2 sharp steep turns on loose gravel were just too little traction, too steep of hill & too much weight for both 4x4's. We ended up winching multiple times with the 450 using trees as dead men when available. 2.75 hours & all good at the pad with a view. $500 tip to boot:) 1 Quote Hello from sunny (when its not raining) Orcas Island
Ehofer Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Very nicely done. Do you have any pictures of your home made fifth wheel hitch? 1 Quote

dperone Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Looks like he'll be a repeat customer, probably everytime he hooks up to it 1 Quote
