To be honest, hooking up a hitch looks very confusing to me. I always go to the local RV service center and have them do it for a certain fee. It can be pricy, but I am too cautious to do something such as this, and I know it will be done correctly at a service center! I had just purchased a 5th wheel hitch from Makarios RV, an online parts store, and had it installed. It is still working great!
