    We have a Reese 25k hitch and pull a 15k (loaded) fiver.

    Also have an Extang solid tri-fold tonneau cover.

    Both work very well.

    I'm probably going with the Reese Goose box - Just have to make sure it is compatible with the 5th wheel the wife chooses...

    I have a B&W Companion hitch that works very well with my 16,500 lb Fuzion. I would highly recommend checking them out also.

    We have the B&W Companion that works with our RAM Puck system.

    Best hitch in my opinion, built very solid. PullRite and Anderson's are nice for weight, but have seen them crunched like a pop can too many times.

    I have kids in the backseat and want to be confident the trailer is gonna stay attached to hitch and truck.

    If you look on Craigslist or Facebook, you can find some good deals on used ones.

    I have followed this young man for about 2 years now - I have grown to respect his advice and opinions...

    This is why I even considered the Goose Box - I don't want to have to wrestle around with a 80lb - 100lb hitch & lack of bed space - (Just me)



    With my puck system this should be a awesome set up - due to I will not be RVing cross country - just locally (within a 300 mile radius)...
