Hitch or Pin box for better towing

[docque]

I am looking at upgrading to a 303RLS or 337RLS. Truck is in the works.

When I am looking at hitch and pin box for a smoother ride is one different than the other when it comes to a more stable ride? Or would I look into a combination of both to get a better ride?

I am sure it is fine to have whatever the Dealer puts on either if I was a weekend camper but we plan on going full time.

I have only pulled with two different 5th wheel hitches so I can't tell you what is best, but I can tell you I'm really happy with my B&W Companion hitch. The other hitch was what a dealer put on and it was a bit 'loose' so to speak. Clunking when accelerating, stopping etc. None of that with the Companion. Plus the B&W tilts side to side as well, my other one didn't which made unhitching and hitching a challenge sometimes.

We had our Rhino Box changed out before pickup with the Reese Goosebox. Had them on previous rigs and like them. Smooth ride, very little chucking, no heavy hitch to get out of the bed when you need it.

I went with the Curt Crosswing for a hitch that didn't cause me to break my back and didn't void the frame warranty.

I have a 337 and use the Anderson Ultimate 5th wheel hitch and am happy with it. It only weighs around 50 something pounds and is easy to remove.

Since your going full time, how much are you going to be removing the hitch?
I had a Reese 16k on my previous two 5th's. It was a real PIA to unhitch from the trailer & snapped off a one-inch grade eight bolt to the head. They probably have improved on them now as it is about ten years old (it's behind the shed if anybody want to buy it).
I now have a B&W Companion & have had no issues for the past five years. Hitching and unhitching is a breeze. Breaks down in two pieces if you want to pull it out of the truck.

If you are going to full time with a lot of travel, I would get a long bed and an air hitch to remove as much shock as possible to the trailer frame. While the trailer frame is thanking you, you are also the recipient of a better ride.

I have been researching the Crosswing myself. How do you like it? Any problems hitching or unhitching?

So far I like it a lot. Never any issues hitching or unhitching. Since the mounting piece that goes on the kingpin rotates freely I can basically hook up at any angle I need to. I did have to upgrade my Morryde Rubber pin box sjid plate to the heavier reinforced skid plate kit that Morryde uses for the Andersen hitches but other than that it has been great so far.

May I ask where you purchased it from?
