5th Wheels And Dump Trailers

[Lmackattack]

I have Fontane no slack,air slide 5th wheel and I want to be able to pull a frameless dump trailer. My problem is that the way my 5th wheel is made I see no easy way to mount a bar and still be able to slide it. I know you can buy a 5th wheel that has a bar at the front to hold it stationary when pulling a dump. but I would like to avoid buying a new one if I dont have to.

do they make kits to convert to a barred 5th wheel

I'm not 100% positive,but I have seen guys tilt 5th wheel up flat. They then weld some 1" flat stock under the back end to hold it flat. Just a thought.

Also I bought a 2000 CH613 and it needs a chrome bumper. Let me know if you come across another good deal like last time. It's a setback F/A

Thanks
