RV'ing in Welches Oregon

So we took the RV to Welches Oregon this past weekend.  Stayed at Mount Hood Village RV park.  I finally got the 5th wheel tuned in for travel.  When I bought it from the dealer, it was not level when hooked up and I made the amateur mistake of not buying the upgraded pin box.  I ended up replacing it with a Glide Ride which made an unbelievable different in the towing.  I used to cringe going over bumps, but the Glide Ride has smoothed it all out.  In addition, I mounted it so I had only 6 inches of clearance between the truck rails and the 5th wheel.  This almost completely leveled the 5vr and the ride is now incredibly smooth.  I almost forgot I had a 40' 5th wheel behind me at time.  I suggest this pin box for anyone buying a new 5th wheel or running a standard pin box.  This is one step towards being High on the Hog...RV Style.
