I took delivery of my 2016 F-350 with RV prep pkg. Then ordered and installed the Reese adaptor plate that matches up with the Reese 18K slider. Everything fits like a glove and is very tight...my question is, does anyone have the same system described, and how do you like it ?

Thanks !

To answer your question, first I assume you are talking about the Reese picture frame adapter, if so its not a bad setup. I too have the Reese 18K slider that fits conventional bed rails and the Reese picture frame which I purchased to fit my fifth wheel prep on my 2014 Ram. Only drawback is you have to install ,and remove the hitch, and frame separately .

If I was doing it today, I would have done it a little different . I would of either went to the Demco picture frame which can be installed with the hitch connected. Or I would have sold my Reese 18K ,and went with the Andersen fifth Wheel Hitch. Most likely the later.

We have a 2014 F350 with the RV prep, but we wanted an air hitch. It's worked great for the last two years, we use it a lot and so far it's been working out just fine.
