I have been to more than 58 different campgrounds in my 2 trips across the country and probably 15 campgrounds that I have returned to for a total of 73 camp grounds. I have had to back into about 10 of them. Never once did I need a slider. in my SB F250. I have the B&W and there is enough adjustment so you don't need the slider. I like how the B&W is built. I like that is has some steal in it. Ya it's heavy bit at 67 I do still remove it myself. After 30,000 towing with my hitch I have only had one issue and it was my fault. The hitch is flawless. No chucking period. You don't need a fancy pin box as I don't have one. If mine came with it than that would be ok but not necessary. For me when I am towing my house behind me I want something that has some girth to it. I have tested the crap out of mine and there is no way I would trust any other hitch. But thats just me.

I also have a B&W Turnover ball hitch installed on my 2017 Silverado 3500 DRW and replaced the fifth wheel pin box on my 303 with the Reese's 16K pin box. It works great and once I'm disconnected I full use of the bed of my truck without having to remove anything except the goosball. Note that the Reese's Goosebox is also the only gooseball type connection that will not void the frame warranty from Lippert. While I have an 8ft bed I have heard from other Goosebox owners have reported no issues with making tight turns while towing with a 6.5 ft bed . There is a Facebook page devoted to goosebox owners that I would suggest you take a look at if you would like more information concerning using the Goosebox in your truck.

Well I purchased and installed the B&W Companion 20K (non-slider) over the weekend. I measured from sent of the hitch where the king pin goes to my cab corner and i have 51 inches. I just need to measure from the king pin to the RV corner now to see how close it will be. Dealer is storing the camper until spring for me so I can't get a measurement until Friday maybe when I am near there. Anyone with a Reflection 311BHS want to take a quick measurement of yours for me?
I really wanted to go with the AUH but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I am interested in the Reese Goosebox now that I know Lippert is OK with them. I had heard they were not OK for warranty and put extra strain on the frame. We will see how the B&W goes and change if needed but hopefully I won't need to.2020 Reflection 311BHS
