Got a good deal on an Hijacker Ultra Slide w/rails, hitch was used twice, I paid $200 bucks. I called a local RV place in town and they told me I needed a $650 mounting kit to put this hitch in the truck. That was just the mounting kit, labour not included. How the hell do these things attach to the vehicle? Are they mounted to the box with reinforcements, or do they attach directly to the frame?
Loaded 5th wheel is sitting ~15k, so I'm not real keen on just bolting it to the box. However, I'm also not super keen on dropping another $1k to get it installed. Is it really rocket science or can it be done in my driveway? Are there really special "mounting kits" necessary?
Apologies in advance, I hate noob questions, but I want it done safely.
