It's called the BedSaver and it was developed by Blue Ox to address kingpin slipping or a hitch failing to properly engage-all of which results in severe truck and trailer damage or worse!
That's why we picked the BedSaver as our RV magazine Product of the Week!
"The BedSaver solution provides a simple add-on component to the truck bed hitch. This BedSaver component "catches" the kingpin and secures it should it come loose from the coupler."
Although we haven't tested the BedSaver yet, we're told it is an easy installation with no drilling or hitch modifications required. The hitch operates just as it normally would. There are no moving parts to wear out and it requires minimal maintenance.
"The BedSaver is a nice insurance policy against costly damage to your truck bed," said Jay Hesse, president of Blue Ox. "Dropping a fifth wheel happens more often than you think. We saw a need in the marketplace to give fifth wheel pullers greater peace of mind about preventing such an accident. The BedSaver is the result."
For the RVW Lil Rocker, Blue Ox offers its exclusive BedSaver PL(tm) hitch attachment to lock the coupled kingpin. The BedSaver PL uses a counterweighted plate that pivots down to let the kingpin mate with the coupler before snapping in place. This prevents the kingpin from accidentally coming loose during transit. Simply unlock the BedSaver PL to raise the kingpin for unhitching.
