look tough to back up

[TheHitchHog]

Yes any vehicle that tows two trailer is tough to back up.

ok so how this looks on an engineering perspective, you transfer weight from the vehicle to the fifth wheel but the hitchhog uses smaller wheels which can turn at approx double the speed so the chance of a blow out is greatly increased? what happens if there is just one blow out on the hitchhog?

@Risenangelicaegis Move along boy, the American big boys are talking here. We could care less if this was illegal in Europe.

those are the same size tires as on the trailer there really not that small they do it on all the double trailer UPS and FEDEX trucks the porportion you guys see is a 18-19 inch wheel perfectly road worthy

Ilovegoatsecks, not so with all units some come from the factory with the receiver as an

option such as mine. I ordered it on mine in case I get stuck for a pull point which I have. It's the weight on the rear that's an issue cuss it takes it off the pin. Mine is rated up to 500 pounds dead weight - 2,500lbs pulling. Cheers

i feel like the tires should be slightly larger for longer life. i know there is already a top coment that covers this. im just pointing out what i saw

@myfeeling4you From an engineering perspective it takes the tongue weight of the trailer with the truck on it (probably around 2k lbs) and transfers it to the ground instead of the bumper of the travel trailer, which isn't rated for towing that much anyway, The smaller tires dont automatically grant more blowouts. Trailer trucks blow more tires than passenger cars (it seems) the first vehicle in this video is the first trailer in tow.

fifth weel stupid

this is neat and wuld make my duramax and cummins look SICK goin down tha highway pullin double ....but i wuld wrather get a BIG toy hauler instead of worrying bout pullin double and gettin a flate n tha hitchhog

[xdayonx]

What happens if the hitch hog gets a flat? I can imagine it would be pretty ugly....

[onemistered]

@TheHitchHog when are you going to have it automated and where can I purchase one?
