Scamp sells/installs a proprietary hitch that uses a ball and a coupler. It is not a true 5th wheel because 5th wheel refers to the type of connection. Because the
Scamp 19 attaches in the bed of a truck like a true 5th wheel, it is often referred to as a 5th wheel. Ball and coupler connections require safety chains, 5th wheel connections do not. Scamp’s modified 5th wheel hitch has provisions to attach the chains which are present on the
Scamp 19. Those who use an Andersen hitch, another ball and coupler hitch requiring an add-on to the pin box of a true 5th wheel connecting trailer requires chains. I have seen different methods users employ to attach safety chains.
