I have a few questions about these two products.

PULLRITE SUPERGLIDE:
<ul type="square">[*]Can the little piece that attaches to the trailer by the kingpin be easily removed if the trailer were to be pulled by another vehicle w/o the Pullrite?
[*]Can you pull any other trailer not equipped with the little mechanism with a Pullrite hitch?
[*]On the Pullrite website, it is stated that the big 24K hitch works when reversing. Is this not the case for the 16K?
[*]is there much maintenance or wear associated with the sliding mechanism?
[*]is the kingpin clamping system on this hitch a good design?
[*]any other pros/cons with this hitch?
[*]HITCH [/list]

POPUP HITCH EXTENDER:
<ul type="square">[*]has anyone used these things?
[*]do you think they will damage the trailer or pinbox because of the extra 'leverage' they place on the trailer?
[*]any other opinions?
[*]EXTENDER[/list]

i have installed several of the RV5 units. neat item, but the only problem i seem to run into is the height increase of the pin.

What do you feel about the strain on the trailer? Does Popup offer any warranty on the trailer end of things if it does damage or is it on their piece alone? I will call them and get some info as well and will post that information.
If height is a problem, would the construction of a 'custom' pinbox be a better way to go so you could get the exact height and length required? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif
