wilbur Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 What do you guys use between the 5th wheel and frame to seal out water. I took mine off and it was pretty nasty. Cleaned all the rust off and plan on using POR-15 to paint it. Looking for a good sealant to seal it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Most I see are just painted. The best thing to do is power wash the area clean to keep the road wash cleared that builds up, holds water, and rots everything in the area. Wash it with the truck and greasing the fifth wheel platter at the same sitting. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

thomastractorsvc Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I cleaned the frame and the mounting brackets like Rob said. I then painted before assembly. The last one I did aluminum frame, 1978 Superliner, I bought some black liquid spray plastic and sprayed some of that over the paint not sure if it will help have to wait and see.
