BXR4400 Blue Ox Bedsaver Installation on a Curt E5 hitch
By LaWanda Loo
I bought the Blue Ox bedsaver model #BXR4400 for a Curt E5 16K 5th wheel hitch.The instructions & pictures where not very clear at all.I bolted it up using the top holes in my hitch & the top holes in the bedsaver side plates, like the pictures show, and this put the bedsaver way too high. I only had about 1 1/2" from the top of the bedsaver to the top of the 5th wheel hitch. The kingpin on my camper is 3 1/4" long. I would have had to lift the camper high enough to clear the bedsaver, back the pickup truck up to clear the bedsaver, then lower the camper for it to fit onto the hitch.I called the Blue Ox company then. The person I talked to said there should be about 1/2" to 1" between the bottom of the camper kingpin & the top of the bedsaver when you are backing up the truck to hook up the camper.I had to move the bedsaver side plates down to the 3rd hole (from the top) on my Curt hitch (which is the ones that where being used to bolt the 5th wheel plate to the legs) and I had to use the top set of holes in the bed saver side plates. The bolts in my Curt hitch that I had to remove then reinstall with the bedsaver side plates would not fit thru the holes in the bed saver side plates. I had to buy a 9/16" drill bit and drill out the holes in the side plates a little bit to get the bolts to go thru them.Once I got the bed saver mounted I now have 4" from the top of the bedsaver to the top of the 5th wheel plate. When I back up to hook up the camper I now have about 3/4" between the top of the bed saver & the bottom of the kingpin.Other than the weak installation instructions & pictures, the bedsaver itself is very well built.I will recommend the Blue Ox Bedsaver to everybody.

Quality product, let's hope I don't need it.
By John Kozell
Installation was easy, although the instructions aren't very clear on the mounting height.They instruct you to use the top holes on the hitch, but what if the hitch is of a different configuration or what if the top holes are already occupied?I would have liked to see an explanation of how far below the tray sits from the hitch surface, then I could confirm what holes to use.But otherwise, very happy with the construction and fit/finish - let's hope I never experience it in action.

By wallylake
I had to learn the hard way, only had my 5th wheel for 1 month, both my wife and I thought it was hooked up, guess what it wasn't. Did $1,000 damage to tailgate. You live and learn. I got this for a insurance policy, It was very easy to install and gives me a piece of mine. Would recommend this highly to people beginning to rving.
