My VN670's Holland 5th Wheel Has A Block In The Front Of Bracket, Is It Original?
Topic 11293 | Page 1
If it's what I'm thinking, it's a slide stop to keep from going too far forward where you risk the trailer hitting the cab on a turn.

I figured, but the need of 1 or 2 notch forward can be compensated with cautious turning, no?

It looks identical to this one, [img]http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mdAwRISCMQuGlblTRGeM13g.jpg[/img] the only difference is in this picture, 5th wheel is in the most front position. Apparently mine isn't and couldn't.
And this is mine, you can see the extra slider stop.

Got a load from California, but stuck with tandem overweight. After I figured a way to get out of CA, I found out that I could't slide my 5th wheel further forward because there is a set of blocks in the front of the bracket restraining the slider. Is this setup original? I can upload pics later. Thanks!
Tandem:
Tandem Axles
A set of axles spaced close together, legally defined as more than 40 and less than 96 inches apart by the USDOT. Drivers tend to refer to the tandem axles on their trailer as just "tandems". You might hear a driver say, "I'm 400 pounds overweight on my tandems", referring to his trailer tandems, not his tractor tandems. Tractor tandems are generally just referred to as "drives" which is short for "drive axles".
