Revainrating 5 out of 5

Allows me to see the bed and fifth wheel when coupling a fifth wheel trailer to a double cab pickup

I use this for a different purpose than most people. I have a 5 wheel trailer that I tow with an F250 crew cab pickup. Due to the double cab layout, I can't see the fifth wheel on the bed of my truck, so I had to get in and out of the fifth wheel several times to make sure I lined up with the fifth wheel's spigot. Some of the higher fairings on my truck have cameras to hook up trailers, but mine doesn't and I didn't want to install an expensive camera system. I wasn't sure if I would see my fifth hitch in the bed of a truck with this product or not, but I thought the price was worth it. It worked GREAT! Now I can see my clutch in bed and it's easier for me to align things. I'm so glad I didn't invest hundreds in a camera system. I also put a yellow marker on the hitch and trailer kingpin box to help with the alignment process.

Pros
  • Improves visibility when parking or reversing
Cons
  • Clarity
