Just a heads up, both of those are 2" receivers. If your truck bed weight aft of the rear axle plus loaded tongue weight is over 1,500#, they do not yet make a WD hitch with integrated sway control above 1,500# that fits in a 2" receiver.
Maybe throw into your decision mix, Do I go 2 1/2" or 2" receiver pin box?
Yes, you have to deal with the adapter when you use 2" hitch draw bars or shanks. Worst case you re-buy a 2 1/2" receiver later on if you need the increased capacity of the larger WD hitch.
Good luck, lots of choices/decisions....Been there and spent $$ on that...LOL
PS Maybe a quick trip to the scales with some gear in the camper and truck can help in the decision to see were you stand now. This gets easier to decide if you know the weigths you are dealing with once loaded. "stuff" just plain adds up! I'm always amazed what "stuff" adds up to.
