Thank you for your service! Great video
Lots of good advice. Thanks for making the video
Welcome
Good video Jim. Believe-it-or-not... One time I forgot to eve out in my main hitch pin. Dprve 75 miles to my distinatin, Got in and realized I drove all that way with no hitch pin. I could not believeit! Unbelievably lucky!
I try to get my wife and boys to second check me. Stay safe have a good summer
Somebody up there loves you!
Very thorough and i agree with the other comment about the extra's at the end, especially when you remind people to check air pressure in tires.
Thank you for the comment, i hope you can get some good relaxing camping in this year.
Thank You! Sent this to the spouse also. Just in case I overlook something
Thanks for watching

DEFINITELY rely on what the tires say as a maximum tire pressure.. not the sticker. Ideally the tires all match, and match the sticker. Eventually, down the road as technology changes, the sticker will get outdated. You'll still want the pressure in all 4 tires to be about the same, but rely on a range closer to the maximum of what the tire says, never above.
In a newish trailer, that shouldn't be an issue, as the new tires were installed at the factory to match the sticker. ;)
Thanks for the info and thanks for watching
Always put grease on your ball and in your plug.
Dielectric grease in the plug. I do that thanks for watching
Is this strictly for weight distribution or does it help with sway control as well?
I do have a sway control break that can be connected to the weight distribution hitch
Alright! It's time for RV PMCS!
Can't I get a private to do it for me?
Good luck all privates are in there safe space now a days lol
Thanks for video, and the service you provided for my freedom to go camping and enjoying the life I live here in the USA 🇺🇸
Your welcome
Hey Jim, do you put that grease on the 7-pin every time you connect it, or just every few times? PS. Subscribed.
Just a couple times a year depending how much you use it. Thanks for watching
@@DIYJIM Thanks for the fast reply. I bought some on Amazon and it arrives today.
Would i be able to use one of these with an open car trailer?
I don’t see why not. As long as you can connect it to your trailer.
Them tow balls are greaseless,they dont need any grease!
Sure make it less noisy thanks for watching
You really should use a tape measure and check the front of the truck to see if it comes up at all
Thanks for the tip
I would route the electrical hook up above the equalizer bar to protect it in case it drags bottom.
Very good idea I try to think of everything when I make a video. Hope you are having a good camping summer
Accepting input with an open mind is good practice. I appreciate your openness about your mistakes. Going to rework my hitch right now.
This video really allowed me to see what I was doing wrong, thanks bud!
Glad I could help happy camping
Very nice video thank you for making it. I also like the extra things to check at the end of the video.
thank you
Ok my truck has air bags, where I have to leave it? High? Low?
I have airbags also I try to set my distribution hitch so my camper is a little low or level then I put about 30-40 lbs in my bags just to stiffen the rear of my truck.
Ok Jim, before to hook, do I have to keep no air to the air bags or some pressure? Because it will be high to set trailer and truck measurements if with air. Thanks for your help.
Your supposed to try to keep 10 lbs in them all the time. I never check mine but I just try to leave a little in. Hook up then add your air. Hope this helps
Thanks so much for this video the ones I have seen have been very fast and skip a lot of info now I feel confident in buying one for my new ram
You are so welcome!
Much needed info. Thx!!
Really glad I could help thanks for subscribing
mine busted. I think I had too much tension on.
that sucks, my distribution hitch seems to be holding up good.
Thanks!
No problem
Good Stuff👍👍👍
thank you
Do you remove the bars before backing up ?
I never do, good question thanks for watching
Great video.. silly question, how do I know what chain link to use? I bent one of the brackets today.....
Do you need a new bracket? I think i would back off a couple links if you are bending brackets.
@@DIYJIM Yep, new bracket needed. Dealership says I must have jack knifed... I didn't... normal turns on a road... Not to sure what happened:(
@@timyeo8710 hope you get it figured out hope they can help you
Thanks for sharing my man
Welcome thanks for watching
Great video. Thanks.

Don't put dielectric grease on any of your electrical connections. Dielectric grease is not conductive, it is an insulator. You are supposed to use the grease on the outside housing of the connector to keep water out.
Don't agree with that. I have been using Dielectric grease for years. Thanks for watching
@@DIYJIM just because you've been using it for years doesn't mean you've been using it correctly. You've been lucky that the electrical contacts are tight enough to scrape away the grease for metal to metal contact. Look up the definition of dielectric grease and read the directions for application. Not conductive, used to insulate electrical connections.
@@deadswarmaking1135 ok thanks for watching
God bless you Jim! In Jesus name.
Thank you very much hope you have a great summer
@@DIYJIM already have my friend! Been camping with the family and wanted to double check if I'm hooking up my trailer correctly. The criss crossing of the tow chains is a new one for me. I'm definitely going to do that!
I was tryna figure out morse code through all that blinking
Could you read what I was saying lol. My channel was kinda new back then must have been nervous. Thanks for watching
