Cooking inside a fifth wheel heats the rig and puts the smell in the soft goods.

The tow hitch stays free, because the grill goes on the trailer.

Most fifth wheels and 5th wheel toy haulers carry a frame-mounted 2-inch receiver at the rear. That is where the swing arm goes. You never unhitch to cook, the truck bed hitch is untouched, and the grill rides with the trailer between stops.

The swing arm

One motion. Full access.

The patented dual swing arm mounts to your 2-inch receiver and rotates up to 180° on a locking hinge. Swing it out to cook, swing it back to close up — your rear camper door still opens all the way.

Two grills in one.

Before you ask

Will it mount to my fifth wheel?

If your trailer has a standard 2-inch receiver at the rear, yes. Most fifth wheels and 5th wheel toy haulers do. The swing arm slides into that receiver the same way it would on a truck — no drilling, no brackets.

The one thing to confirm first is that the receiver is frame-mounted and rated to carry weight rather than just tow. Some rear receivers on towables are rated for light loads only. Send us a photo of the back of your rig and we will tell you straight, including if the answer is no.

Does it use up my tow hitch?

No, and this is where a 5th wheel has an advantage over a bumper-pull. Your trailer connects by kingpin in the truck bed, so the truck's rear receiver is not what the hitch uses. And because the grill mounts on the trailer's own rear receiver, nothing about your towing setup changes at all.

Can I run it off the trailer's propane?

Yes. The RV Quick Connect Kit ties the grill into your onboard tank and supports up to 20,000 BTU, with no electrical power required. That means no second bottle rattling around in a pass-through.

Does it block the rear door or ramp?

The dual swing arm rotates up to 180°, so you swing it clear rather than unmount it. On a toy hauler with a rear ramp, swing the arm fully to one side before dropping the ramp — that is the one setup worth dry-running once in the driveway before your first trip.

Does it stay on while I travel?

Yes. Swing it in against the trailer, pin it, and drive. There is nothing to break down or find storage for.

What is the warranty?

Every HitchFire product carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Free shipping in the lower 48 and free returns if it isn't right.
