If I was getting a 5th wheel hitch again today it would be the B&W RVK3670(direct puck installation for RAM). I use a HF hoist to put my hitch in and out of the truck. Removing this base by a single adult would be a chore. However you would have one of the best hitches available. The 304 lb hitch will make the RAM ride better when not towing. Chris
Chris... that sounds like a great hitch. But jeez, over 300 lbs. You'd think they could lighten that base a bit? Does the base break down into lighter weight parts that one person could handle?
My only issue is that there is no one who could help me remove and replace the hitch in the truck. I see a $99 hoist on Harbor Freight - I guess I could just use that.
My only concern with the Andersen is the possibility of ball failure - there is a lot of weight and force on just a single ball. I'm sure that ball failure is not very likely, but it does happen.
