Looking at the Demco 21K Recon Slider 5th Wheel Hitch

Today, my team and I want to introduce you to the Demco 21K Recon Slider 5th Wheel Hitch.

I caught up with Biggin’ doing a Demco RV Products Manufacturing hitch installation on this Toyota Tundra and thought you’d enjoy taking a peek at it.

Our Facebook groups

These Facebook groups were created to help educate owners about parts, problems, repairs, fixes, and upgrades on RV units. We will be sharing videos that include WHAT’S IN THE SHOP? and SHOP TALK episodes with information on accessories and products that we use and install on the units from the shop.

We try and help as time allows to answer questions and problems. We encourage others to share their experience so we can build a resource page to help everyone.

Kind of ridiculous installing a 21,000 lb hitch in a truck rated for less than 10K trailer.
