Video Transcript for Review of CURT 5th Wheel Gooseneck Adapter - Helux Shock Absorbing Pin Box Adapter - C64HB

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this CURT Helux Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Shock Absorbing Pin Box Adapter. Now this setup is going to replace your traditional fifth wheel pin box with a gooseneck coupler. That means that you're gonna get an easy connection to your two and 5/16 inch gooseneck ball and a clear truck bed when it's time to haul your tools, your bikes or camping gear. This upgraded coupler features a built-in coil spring, as you can see right here. So this is going to help smooth out bumps and it's gonna help cut down on that annoying back and forth chucking.

So this coupler is going to bolt directly to the Lipper rhino pattern with the included hardware that you see here on my table. And it is approved to be used on Lipper RV frames, so you're not going to have to worry about running the risk of your warranty. Now, whereas this is a simple installation with the hardware, this is very heavy. So you do wanna make sure that you're going to have enough support to get this lifted into place. I needed two other guys to help me get this on my table.

So just be aware that this is going to be heavy. It's a very robust product. So this does have a towing capacity of 20,000 pounds and a pin weight range from 2,800 to 5,000 pounds. So you must fall within that pin weight range for this to be effective for you. And if you don't know how to measure your your pin weight accurately, take a look at this product page.

We do have steps that you can follow so that you can actually, so you can accurately, rather, measure your pin weight to make sure that this one's gonna work for you or another Helux product that has a different pin weight will work for you. So avail yourself to that information on our page. So this coil spring and shock system are gonna work together to cushion road vibrations and help absorb those jolts that you're gonna get from potholes, bridge joints and dips. This is gonna be a big upgrade from rigid couplers and it's gonna give you a smoother, more relaxed towing experience. And unlike air ride systems that need regular pressure checks and occasional repairs, this coil spring system is gonna be ready whenever you are, so you're not gonna have to worry about air bladders or valves, just reliable performance every trip.

And this does feature an auto latching coupler that's gonna make hitching quick and stress free. You're just going to back in, line it up, and then when you drop it on that two and 5/16 inch ball, it's going to couple automatically. And then when you're ready to uncouple, we do have this cable here that's included. And so you're just going to pull back and that's going to allow you to easily disconnect from the ball. So you're not gonna have to like climb into the bed of your truck to do that. You'll just pull on that and disconnect from your ball, as simple as that. Safety chains are included. As you can see here, we got one on each side. And this is constructed of carbon steel with a slightly textured black powder coat finish. And so this is very rugged, very durable. It's gonna hold up really well for you and I think lasts you quite a long time. One other thing that I wanted to mention is this is not going to be compatible with CURT's Rocker Ball Cushion Hitch Gooseneck Ball, just so you're aware of that. So again, you're gonna get everything that you see here. And if you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this adapter or anything else that we carry here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out 'cause ultimately we wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
