SECTION 6: REMOVING THE BASE UNIT
Before removing the base unit of your Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection, you will need to
open the remote latch cable and disengage the kingpin coupler from the base unit.
Once your 5th wheel trailer is out of the way, you can remove the base and free up your truck bed.
Tip: You can hang your
Ultimate Connection on wall
hooks when not in use.
6-1. Using a 15/16” socket wrench, loosen the
two coupler tube set bolts. Make sure that the
coupler tube set bolts are loose enough to
allow free movement of the coupler tube.
6-2. Using a 15/16” socket wrench, loosen the
top bolt of the square coupler. The Ultimate Base
will now become loose in the bed of the truck,
but it is still connected to the vehicle’s 2-5/16”
gooseneck ball.
6-3. Remove the hairpin clip from the pin under the
2-5/16” gooseneck ball and then remove the pin
from the coupler block, completely freeing the base
from the tow vehicle’s 2-5/16” gooseneck ball.
6-4. Carefully remove the Ultimate Connection
base from the 2-5/16” gooseneck ball. You can
now take the base out of the truck bed.
