We also have the B&W Turnover Ball w/ Companion Hitch, only we have a 2006 Diesel Super Duty, 8 foot box and a dually conversion. We pull 14K+ Solitude 379FL. While traveling through Michigan on I-275 and I-94 there are only two places that produce chucking. They are both where the pavement is large cement squares, not Asphalt. We also do not notice chucking with continuous-cast cement. My wife, pulling our boat with another vehicle, complains about the same "chucking" in those same two areas, especially where they have patches.
We just last weekend pulled our Solitude to Florida for the winter. We encountered chucking only in one location, and the pavement was cement squares.Frank and Char + Maya, Newport, Michigan. 2016 Solitude 379FL/2006 F250 6.0 diesel w/dually conversion. 4th rain-sense roof vent, two ceiling fans, Kodiak disc brakes, Carlisle G 14-ply tires, Water Miser x2, final dump valve, water header tank, fridge cond fan switch, outside range exhaust, elec hot water anode, filtered drinking water, triple battery box,

I have the same hitch, when I brought home my 2020 303RLS I had what I call porpoising. It was so bad I had to slow down to 50 mph on a 70 mph highway. I had some stuff in the 303 that I unloaded from my traded in Imagine 2250RK. I think the problem was not enough pin weight. The problem is solved, but I am not sure what did it because I did 2 things. I loaded up the front compartment with 2 6V led acid batteries and a few other things. I also usually carry at least 1/3-2/3 fresh water and fully loaded the trailer for camping. I had unloaded a lot of stuff from the 2250RK before going to the dealer. The second thing I did was to add Timbrens to my TV.
Now I have no problem doing 65mph without any major problems. It would be nice to have MorRyde pin box, but I am not sure if it would work well with the manual slider.Last edited by Malco1; 11-15-2020 at 09:44 AM.

I have similar (2020 GMC) truck to yours but short bed. I also have the B&W companion. Hitch height seems to effect the chucking. When I picked up my trailer (31MB, 500 miles from home), I set the hitch height at the middle of 3 positions. I hooked up the trailer, and thought the trailer was ever so slightly nose high. Not wanting to change the setting at that time, I drove home 500 miles with zero chucking.
Wanting to make things perfect, I lowered the hitch one position to the lowest setting. The trailer looks perfectly level but to my surprise our next trip I experienced some mild chucking. What changed? 500 miles no chucking then changed the hitch height and now I have mild chucking. I will be changing the hitch back up one notch. Hopefully that takes care of it.

Be sure you have not made any other changes i.e. added propane or other weight... changed tire pressure

@Malco, We did the exact trade as you. Had a 2019 2250RK and traded for a 2020 303RLS. Both RV's are nice just needed a little more room.
