3 Sep 21 - New 5th Wheel Hitch Install

I started around 4 pm removing the old hitch because putting new isolators in it didn't stop the squeaking.  So we ordered a new hitch.  We received 2 boxes on Thursday.  After removing the old hitch I opened one box to find the legs and nothing else in it.  The second box had the head in it.  Seems like I was missing a box with the center section where the Reese 20K is marked.  An important piece as they all are. 
I called the company that I ordered the hitch from and they said that UPS was going to deliver it before 7 pm tonight.  It arrived around 6 pm and I got it installed before 8 pm.  Looking forward to the first move with it. 
The old hitch was discontinued by Reese so I was surprised I was able to get the bushings and pins to try and fix the squeak.
