Video Transcript for Review of Demco Replacement Base Assembly - DM6180

Hi everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the replacement base assembly for the Demco Recon 5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch rated at 21,000 pounds capacity. So folks, this will replace the base assembly on item number DM8550043, and I'll put that up on the screen for you as well. And with this unit, as you probably already know, you're gonna have three different height settings to fit your specific application. It is a sturdy steel construction. That's a picture of what the whole unit looks like with the head.

Again, the head is not included here. We're just looking again at the replacement base. Made here in the US, as you can see by the stickers and everything. Beautiful powder coat finish. It's robust yet light weight.

You're gonna have your four pins for the four tabs, and of course your main pin here for the height difference. So again, you can raise this up or down. You got three different height settings, as you can see. And that's just all steel. And then around the backside here that you can't see, there's two set screws.

Again, you're replacing your base, so you've probably already seen them and know what those are, but that's an additional safety thing to add on there once you get this all in place and hooked up and everything. And of course you get the latch pin here as well that you're gonna need, along with the one up here that you can take out to remove the long pin here to then get the head assembly in place when the time comes. So again, everything here. The capacity again, gross towing is 21,000 pounds, while the vertical load limit is 4,000 pounds. Those height settings are gonna be 15 1/2, 17 1/4, and 18 inches tall.

Again, folks, this is the replacement base assembly for the Recon 5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch by Demco. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
