I had 2020 F450 and had the GenY gooseneck style hitch to pull a 40’ New Horizon Majestic . I also had the B&W gooseneck kit and had great clearance on the bed . I have a very steep back in from street down my driveway and never had any clearance issues. Pin weight was around 4200 pounds. Truck did great and hitch was awesome. I did add airbags to lower headlights some when traveling at night . Put air compressor in bed of truck in a batter box mounted under my RollNLock bed cover . Worked great . I had the manual latch hitch , the auto latch wasn’t rated heavy enough for my trailer. Make sure you have brake setting set to electric over hydraulic for you hydraulic brakes .

Towing gooseneck is the way to go. People don't realize it until they try it. So much more maneuverability and better ride. We run the Goosebox on ours and i love the air ride portion and ability to customize the ride based on our weight.

Agreed! We love having the bed of our truck back!

We love that area. It is cool to go to the beach and not have a bunch of high rise hotels and condos. Safe travels!

What was the pin weight?

We don’t have discs and a Chev, same trailer error - you might of fixed it by redoing the install but it’s either a bad ground or look at replacing the 40a braker (where you disconnect + get a good brand name one, Eaton or Littlefuse

@1StrangeAdventure 7 ай бұрын

We’ve tried chasing the ground and haven’t found anything. Where is that fuse located?

@@1StrangeAdventure at 15:52 you point to it - that auto-resetting braker might also be the problem

Ha! We were in St Joe at the same time. We stayed just north of town. Beautiful area.

Just curious if the new hitch and new ball changed your overall height? Ya'll have a great towing set up and glad it's all working out.

@DavidBrown-jt7yi 7 ай бұрын

The hitch makes a world of difference. The truck makes some difference (new technology), but it's mostly that hitch, IMO.

Nice video! What truck topper is that? Safe travels!!

@JColip1776 7 ай бұрын

Question, was the B&W ball you had the 2.5” extra height? and which weigh safe ball did you buy? Also with the new weigh safe ball do you have problem with the camper being nose up now? I have the 2.5” B&W ball and I’m still having clearance issues coming out of steep approaches and would like to gain some more with my GenY. Thanks in advance!

You were all excited about the ball that provided weight but decline to provide it.

The video wasn't great so I had to cut that piece... Can provide in a future video.

What do you guys do with all the stuff you purge? Give it away, or have like a little sale at the campsite. I always wondered what full timers do, because we always collect stuff along the way. Also like you switched your pin box, what with the old? They’re still good etc.?

@1StrangeAdventure 7 ай бұрын

Some things we will place in storage and some things we just get rid of. Our general rule is if we haven't touched it in 6 months, it doesn't need to be with us. ☺️

I'm surprised you're using a gen y hitch. A few people have said that GD blames it for frame failures. The house probably isn't strong enough to support it, to much flex like they blamed your timbren\sumo springs.

@chrishays3534 7 ай бұрын

They are losing that argument because there is more evidence of the same frame problems with units that are still stock. They have to prove that GenY and Sumo springs cause the issue and they already know what’s causing the issue.

I just measured the height of my B&W gooseball it is 5.5” .I looked up the height of the weight safe gooseball it is 8.4”. I have a 2022 F450 Have you measured the height of your RV now that you have the weight safe hitch ?

@1StrangeAdventure 7 ай бұрын

We haven't but it's on the list to do.
