2011 f250 & cardinal 3150 trail-air 5th wheel

[Mike Clay]

Yes the tonneau covers take away some room but after trimming the pin box I have no problems.

Not to mention with mine there is a stack with the tonneau cover and still clear that

My ladder got nailed by the hotshot taking the trailer from the factory to Cheyenne, WY

To add to this .........................I have a Tonneau cover ...BUILT IN ELKHART................that is tri-fold, with NO FRAME needed inside the box.....it has its own frame on it.

It folds in 3, and is easy to put on, and take off. I use it even with my genny mounted ahead of the pin box with no clearence problems.

It is made by Advantage Co...........and called the TORZA model.

thank you for the reply
i noticed in your photo the air bag on the pin box the trail air that is on mine dose not have that bag and shock absorber on it the one i am pulling has just a rubber there.
i will have to get some photos of it because i can understand a lot better with photos. there is a lot of truth in the saying a photo is worth 1k words LOL
again thank you for the help i hope to get to the 5th wheel soon been holding up for better weather

rick,
TrailAir is the manufactures name and they make many different styles of pin boxes.
It sounds like you have the TrailAir slider pin box that rocks forward and back, that model does not have the air bag.

ok i went over and measured the distance from the pin to the second set of bolts and i had 25 5/8 inches the distance i have on my truck from the center of the box to the side is 32 inches so i think i will make it.
will be able to tell in the next few day's because i will be getting it out of storage and bringing it home.
will let you know how it went as soon as i get it here.
thank you all for the help.

[ricklaplante]

looks like it may stay in storage for few more day's because it is snowing here today.

[ricklaplante]

the cardinal is free it is out of storage and the hitch was no problem at all looks like i will be able to put my cover on and still have room.
this is a shot of the hitch

thanks for all the help and the photos i hope my photo came through

[ricklaplante]

I am sure you know the model of your trailer but are sure it is a 3150 trailer because you have three windows behind the door.

[Mike Clay]

I think you have a 3450 because I know its not a 3150rl with the windows in that slide. How many slides do you have? By the way very nice.

My 3150 has no windows in that slide and I think the 2011 had one about the size of my kitchen window there now.


Plus the 3150 has the hallway on the other side you can see the hallway window in this pick of the street side of my trailer

Very nice.

Could it be a 3515???

[Mike Clay]

Very nice.

Could it be a 3515???

Could be either way it would have 4 slides

That side has the same window layout as my 3450rl... but I hope it really isn't because I believe the F250 would be over GVWR on the rear? But, my 3450rl is a 2009 so it really could be something different.
