I forgot to ask...I am assuming with the re-designed Gen Y you no longer rub your bed rail. I have a tonneau bed cover which the rail is sits on is maybe 3/4-1" off the bed rail. With the redesign shaving off 3" (19.33" to 16.33"), I figure there will be plenty of room and no issues. I did speak to Gen Y again yesterday just to verify the 4.5k model (my Reflection pin box is 2,090 lbs. and GVWR 14,000) and they recommended it still. He said the only 5th wheels where there have had some issue with the rating is the toy haulers rode better with a model rated a little less which was probably your case. I will be ordering my Gen Y and safety chains on Friday.

I’ve been meaning to do a good test in a parking lot or something to see if I can get to full 90° and still have clearance. But, yes I definitely do have more clearance with this model than the previous gen.
Nice, yeah I’m not sure what it was that caused my issues, but they told me too it’s super rare and I’m sure what they recommend will work great for you and your setup, they’re great guys.
Btw, the 4.5k model is a tad heavier than the 3.5k model. Definitely make sure you have a second hand installing it haha. The stock kingpin weighs like 20lbs and you’ll wonder how it pulls so much weight but these Gen-Y’s are stout!!2021 Momentum 381M (Ordered 3/6/2020, Delivered 8/27/2020)

Gen Y hitch arrived...you were not kidding, this is well built and stout! I bought off eTrailer (free shipping) but had to buy chains from Gen Y. They have been great answering all my questions and didn't charge me shipping for the chains. Unfortunately I won't be able to install until next month when we pick up the Reflection. Looking at the design- any tips to connecting to the ball?

I use one of these from Harbor Freight. I stick it right on top of the ball and then just center it on the Gen-Y as I'm backing up to it, when I knock it over I'm right there on the ball. Simple and works good.'19 Momentum 351M

Woohoo! Congrats. And yeah told ya so haha. I did the same as you, I had bought mine a couple months before I picked up my momentum haha
My truck has a camera pointing into the truck bed, using this I can get it aligned left to right pretty easily. The camera angle doesn’t quite show when I’m right over the ball but I can get pretty close within a couple inches.
At that point I just get out and look, then back up or pull forward a bit at a time until it’s good. By myself I can get it in just a few tries so it’s fast now. If you have a helper then it’s easy to have them tell you when to stop.
Did you get the auto latch or the manual lock pin?2021 Momentum 381M (Ordered 3/6/2020, Delivered 8/27/2020)

I have the auto latch. I pick up the camper next Friday. Looking forward to it. I may have already asked but sitting the hitch on the ball...just lower it until it pops into place? No need to pull the latch open to connect?
