Trailer Saver GN8 Install 2005_0001.JPG
1" Hitch Plate -- FOR SALE – 256 viewsThis shows the plate installed between the frame rails prior to building the RV body. It is supported by underside gussetted brackets bolted to the rails. The over-rail brackets attach a plate steel skin that prevents chains/pigtail/etc. from getting hung up in the "C" space above the hitch plate under the rail lip. This skin is not providing structural support; the hitch and trailer weight is carried by the hitch plate's underside brackets..
