ABSTRACT:
A bed saver device for protecting the bed and side rails of a truck or other towing vehicle against damage in the event that a towed vehicle-associated component of a fifth-wheel-type hitch comes free from the truck bed-mounted part of the hitch. The bed protecting device is mounted behind and immediately adjacent the truck-associated part of the hitch and includes a rectilinear plate, supported above the floor of the truck bed, which breaks the fall of the towed vehicle-associated component. Members incorporated in the bed saver and surrounding the restraining plate keep the towed vehicle-mounted component from sliding off the plate in event that the towed vehicle-associated hitch component comes loose from and drops onto the restraining plate.
