"QuickBite, The Best Coupler I've Tried." MrTruck
A hitch coupler that gets me excited ! I
use mine each week and it tickles me after I back up to my trailer, hear
the click and run back there and Walla, it's latched, first time!
No more in and out of your truck to see how close you are to the
trailer or if you're centered and you know how much fun it is asking for
help to back up. Quickbite Couplers hook up
like a semi- tractor 5th-wheel.
The ball funnels into the coupler and
latches. A whole lot less cranking on your trailer
jack. To hook up all you do is back up to your trailer and and listen
for the snap and you're hooked. I go to SEMA (Specialty Equipment
Marketing Association) convention each year to see the new stuff. I
found Quickbite there last year. Every year someone thinks they've
saved the world with another V-shaped device at SEMA that fits around
the trailer ball on your truck. Those don't fit all the couplers. Quickbite has
a coupler that guides the
ball into itself and latches itself too!
All you do is put the additional safety pin in.
Quickbite comes with two fiberglass rods that extend
up to help line you up in the middle and then when the coupler locks
shut, the rods come together. The guide rods are nice and simple.
Included are sticky dots to put on your tailgate to help you line up
between the rods for the first time, all seen through your rearview
mirror.
When the Dual Jaws automatically
close around the ball, they are captured by a torsion spring locking jaw
that drops down, locks and surrounds the internal jaws, making it all but
impossible for the ball to escape. There is no need to check if the rear
tab is locked under the ball like in the cheap stamped RV coupler. Many times trailers have become
disconnected when, they were never locked on. With the
Quickbite Automatic Safety Coupler, if it's closed, it's locked.
The
coupler utilizes a 5" horizontal and increased vertical funnel
for the ball mount. There is no need to have the coupler
vertically or horizontally lined up with the ball. When most of the ball is within the
funnel, it slides
into the internal jaws which then automatically close and lock. The
system is also able to couple at extreme vertical and horizontal angles.
This is a coupler worth replacing
what you have now. One of the more difficult things about
trailering is backing up to your trailer. I hook and unhook
often and am replacing all my couplers with QuickBite. It
appeals to my lazy side. I have put allot of miles on my drivers
side door hinges, going in and out to see how close I am to the
ball. My trailers are heavier now too and I can't just kick the
trailer tongue over to the ball anymore.
And then there's the safety
concerns. Especially in the RV trailers, the cheap stamped
couplers on so many travel trailers don't give you piece mind if
they are latched or not. QuickBite Couplers snap shut, lock with
a spring loaded lever and have a safety pin for the double lock
like I do with motel doors. |
 Automatic Dual Jaw Locking System
surrounds the ball to form the coupler with the stainless steel
jaws. (picture left with coupler upside down)
QuickBite
Coupler also tether a 1/2" secondary locking pin (picture right)
for added safety and optional anti theft Locking Safety Pin. |

ALIGNMENT ROD SYSTEM
I've seen different trailer hitching helpers. Magnets, suction
cups, camera's, mirrors, lights. This is the KISS system, keep
it simple stupi.....and it comes free with the QuickBite
Coupler. Two fiberglass rods telescope up above your tailgate
or rear hatch on a SUV. You see where to back up to the rods and
watch the alignment rods come together as QuickBite latches
itself ! So simple and easy.

The rods fit into
holes on top of the Dual Jaws and extend up over your tailgate
or liftgate |
Backing up to your
trailer, the rods show you where |
When your QuickBite Couplers
self latches, the alignment rods come together, it's so cool to
go back and see the coupler latched. Then just raise the jack,
plug in the wire and chains |
Quick and easy,
putting up the rods |
I don't use the rods anymore
because I do use my trailers every week and can hit the trailer
first time with QuickBite, but use the rods when you need them. |

QuickBite Locking
Safety Pin with polyshield, to secure your trailer, replaces
safety pin.

 I
was so excited about Quick Bite Coupler that I adapted one for my
gooseneck. |
