Reese vs B & W under bed mounts
We just bought an Arctic Fox 29-5T which I'll pick up in a couple of weeks when I rotate home from my work in Alaska. New to the 5th wheel game so I'm trying to have everything set up and ready t...

I am considering a Gooseneck/Fifth-Wheel Adaptor set up for my F350 for our future fiver.
I am NOT IMPRESSED as a potential consumer with either the Reese, B&W, or Curt set ups. The handle in the wheel well, open and available to any prankster while I am fueling up, eating, etc just doesn't sit well with me.
I am most impressed with two particular Gooseneck designs.
1) The Drop N' Lock- quite literally two moving parts. I'm probably going with this one.
2) The Blue Ox- Nice hitch, and they have the companion shank now to use with the B&W Companion, very nice.
both of these hitches lock the ball from inside the bed and while coupled it would be prohibitively difficult for a prankster to unlock the ball.
With Reese/B&W/Curt.. a mean person only needs 5 seconds to ruin your day.
Since I am probably going with Drop N' Lock I will be using an Andersen Ultimate Fifth Wheel Connection or if the fiver we choose is rated for a gooseneck adaptor we may just run one of them too.
Thanks!
