Turning Point and Curt Crosswing

[txgals5561]

We have the Curt Crosswing 20K on B&W rails. Our Turning Point is locked out because the Crosswing head swivels. This is how Curt told us to set it up. We are new to the 5th wheel world but have towed about 1300 miles so far into our 3 month trip. No issues with the hitch at all. We are a little nose up with about 10" of clearance from the side rails to the nose. Hitch is set at the lowest point and our trifold bed cover closes with no problems.

Thanks for the post, while not technically a fifth wheel hitch it is closer to a fifth wheel than an Anderson which is more of a gooseball attachment, which is something I do no want. Thanks for the info on the service. I also contact curt to learn more about the updated turning points and service on it and I glad to know that you now dont have to pull the entire hitch off, before you had to take it off at the base and realign all 8 bolts. That makes me less concerned about servicing it, but I would still rather use the hitch locked out vs turning. I would have ordered a different pin box if it was an option.

Why are you against a gooseball setup? You said you wanted the bed of your truck available, didn't you? I don't have a 5th wheel yet (currently with a GD 2800BH) but the Gen 3 Reese Goosebox is looking like the way I will go, along with an F-350 short box. Gen Y is also a possibility.

Hornsky,
Well with he 150s there is a couple things, the Reese Goosebox won't go on the frame how its set for the turning point, the goose ball set ups do not support the turning point future if you want to use it and finally Im out west and alot of the states require safety chains with goose ball connections. A kingpin to hitch doesn't
