Available colors include all standard and Special Edition vinyl, all standard, Special Edition and Custom acrylic, and all FullView fabrics to match any RV color scheme.

New "Sure Lock" Feature Now Available on C/P 5th Wheel Hitches

Coast Distribution has added an exclusive new feature to the entire line of C/P 5th Wheel hitches. The user-friendly feature allows the consumer to know at a glance the hitch is locked and ready for travel - - right from the driver’s seat.

Available in three load ranges, 14,000, 16,000 and 20,000 lbs., each new C/P 5th Wheel has an easy to spot lock indicator on the side facing the rear window of the truck. All the user has to do is look at the back of the hitch, through the rear window. The white "Sure Lock" indicator pops out in plain sight when the 5th wheel is locked...and ONLY when it’s locked.

A second feature that makes it easier for your customer to hook up their 5th wheel is an arrow indicator which marks the center of the hitch and makes lining up with the trailer king pin a breeze.

The 16,000 and 20,000 lb. C/P 5th Wheels also feature a double pivoting head which makes it far easier to hook-up or disconnect the trailer when on uneven ground. All three units offer easy height adjustment for proper alignment with the trailer height and, because the head section may be removed separate from the frame uprights, removing the unit from the truck bed can easily be done by one person.

For additional information contact The Coast Distribution System at 800-495-5858 or your Coast sales representative.
