Just as a follow-up, after contacting Roadmaster as to parts availability and or support for the Comfort Ride 5th wheel hitch line-up, here is their reply: Tim, my apologies. That is a discontinued product, and no replacement parts are available. Short and sweet. Jay thanks for the heads up. Are you going to a more common hitch? Tim

Fhkw and Kirk, Thanks for the responses. I have seen the manuals for the 184, 245 and the 308, but that was about the extent of it. No part list availability, or products shown (Under the name Comfort Ride)other than their suspension system and their Quick Foot Jack Extension. A phone call is in order. Tim

I have a chance to upgrade to a Comfort Ride 245 hitch. The current owner says that Roadmaster doesn't offer support anymore, so, would this worth taking a chance on? I've seen some of the issues on the Comfort Ride Hitches on the HDT forum, but my trailer isn't a heavyweight. It has a Gross Weight of 16,880 lbs. with a pin around 3200 lbs. Thanks in advance Tim

I know that this is an old thread, and I haven't seen this mentioned before, but is there a possibility that there was some structural damage to the frame when the Front Tie-Down Brackets were attached to the frame? Tim

57Becky brought up the anti oxidant compounds when using Aluminum conductors, here are 3 examples: Penetrox (manufacturer Burndy) De-Ox (manufacturer Ilsco) Noalox (manufacturer Ideal Industries) After stripping the insulation, wire brush the conductors, and apply a liberal amount of compound to each before terminating. Also,if you end up using Copper conductors, eat your Wheaties. 500' of #1 THHN weighs about 150 lbs. Good Luck.
