Can this carrier be used on a triple axle fifth wheel trailer?

I think the frame would be strong enough, and the forward weight adequate to counter the weight added at the rear, but you'd likely have to have it welded on as the pre-drilled holes and width of frame rails probably would not line up. Remember that the 2 secondary receivers have to be welded on anyway, so you may as well have the welder(s) do the whole thing. It should work though, and other than the massive weight of the thing, I am completely satisfied with mine. I put on mine an 800# Concours 14 and pull a 3500# pop-up trailer with 400# tongue weight. No probs.

this mount will require that two receivers be welded to the frame for support. check with your installer to see if the fifth wheel frame will handle the 1000lb. load. the carrier works very well on my coach. consider adding a 12v boat trailer elec. wench. makes loading and unloading easy.lon

the axle diameter has to be 5/8 inch, which sounds big for a tricycle. Also I doubt that the tricycle axle would be long enough to go clear through the hub of this wheel. I had to order a new longer axle to fit my application. My old axle was 5/8 but not long enough.

No I don't believe that this bearing will work it is about 1.5 inches ID. Plus most trailer axles use a set inner and outer tapered bearings and races

I doubt it. We have a fifth wheel with a receiver hitch on it. The roof ladder gets in the way of my KLR650.

Yes, but your going to want to measure the width of the back wheels and make sure that your trike is not wider than the carrier. I routinely carry 2 adult and 3 children's bikes on this carrier without any issues. The tie down is a little 'cheap', but you can get a higher quality one for $20 or less at HD or Lowe's. I hope this helps.

Not that I am aware of. It is more oriented to vehicle use. Ashould work OK. far as a tractor trailer, it should work OK,

Yes, it can bolt onto the carrier. Be aware of the increased load and how it sticks out. When you park, it might add an additional 30 inches to your vehicle length. Happy biking!!

We have a Yakima rack system on our vehicle with round bars and they work. We have rectangular bars on a trailer that we also use to haul them. The racks work even better on the rectangular bars. I think they are universal and should work fine for you.

No, any bed shorter than 6' only has 2 options, a Sidewinder by Reese, or a Pullrite 3100. Your bed is way too short to pull a fifth wheel, be careful you will damage your truck and trailer.

Yes it can. Just UN check the information for the 5th wheel, and you will get a car route. Please note, in my experience with the RV routing it does not work properly. So be careful. I complained to Magellan, and they don't seem to care.

I would think so. We bought it to pull our 28 foot camper that weighs ~5,000# dual axle. There also may be a # you can call directly.We actually you tubed this system before we bought it. So maybe try that too.Hope I was somewhat helpful.

This can be mounted to any standard rail 5th wheel set up. My concern and caution would be a 5th wheel with such a short bed, insure you have proper clearance on your turns to keep from damaging the cab. A slider system may be best if this is the case. Good luck

Not with the tubing that comes stock on this carrier. Not near strong enough. A good welding shop should be able to make the needed modifications to allow you to add a trailer hitch. This carrier is good and I have really enjoyed using it.

I don't have a 5th wheel trailer, but I don't see why not. You have to wired to the truck bed since is originally for the list nice plate

It will not work well if the Sandpiper is concave. also, if it has a rounded back the standoff mounds will not fit flat on the trailer. This is mainly designed to fit a straight backed trailer or motor coach. I don't think it works well for a fifth wheel, at least it doesn't on my Keystone Everest. I'll never climb up it because I made it fit with the original standoffs and I couldn't get one to fit so I'm using it only to put the laundry rack on

I bought this in the Fall for our 5th wheel. It worked great. The bumper hitch on our Sundance handled it fine, though I would place the heavier bikes closer to the rig and the smaller ones on the outside.

TripleJ, yes. The trailer is very easy to detach and reattach. Hope that helps.
