Grand Design 303 RLS and Chevy 2500HD Tow Vehicle Questions

Hello All,

I am saving funds to purchase a Grand Design 303RLS. Tow vehicle will be a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD CC 4WD LTZ with standard 6.5 ft bed.

Preferred hitch is the Anderson Aluminum Ultimate Hitch as I need to minimize payload weight consumed by hitch weight.

Is anyone on this forum towing this specific 5th wheel with the same or a similar tow vehicle/hitch setup?

If so, I have the following questions:

1. What is the location of your gooseneck ball with respect to the axle line?

2. Do you tow with the ball socket on the Anderson aluminum pin coupler ahead or or behind the pin?

3. Approximately where does this result in the 5th wheel pin being located with respect to the axle line?

4. Do you have plenty of clearance between 5th wheel and truck cab when turning and backing? Are you able to turn 90 degrees?

5. Are you able to obtain at least 6" of clearance between the 5th wheel and the top of the bed rails with this 5th wheel and your tow vehicle/hitch.

Please feel free to PM me if you prefer. Thanks in advance for your replies and support!

Best regards,

Keith
