Thanks for all of the insight.  It is much appreciated.  What I have discovered is that when I first upgraded to a 5th wheel 5 years ago I have learned more in the last day trying to understand the hitches better than before.  You are right about the tailgate it will cut that up like no other, I wish I had a pic of my Chevy to share but I’m sure you all have seen that mistake before.  What is odd is that I can’t find my Lippert specs online , because they seem to use the same model number 1621 (which I suspect that is due to the mounting to the camper) but can’t find the item number anywhere.  I wish I had a 5th wheel with the nose cut down for sharp turns. Maybe it’s time to get a new camper for the new truck!
