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. Chris
Thanks, you left the Andersen alone, if you haven't towed with the rail mount ,then there is nothing to discuss in that regard.
There is no doubt the B&W is a great hitch., I came within one click of a computer key of buying the Pullrite Superglide. Now I am glad I didn't , knowing what I know now. I went with the picture frame adapter , and kept my existing rail mount 18K manual slider.
IMO there is no one hitch that covers it all, this RVK3670, comes close ,you have manual slider , direct fit, buts its manual , and its something you have to deal with. Some miss the point you don't need a slider with the Andersen, and it works well, thats a point some don't seem to understand, or believe.
I have no desire to buy another hitch. But if I had to start from scratch, knowing what I know NOW, I might be tempted to get the B&W 3600, fixed hitch with those four adjustments, and put it 2" behind the axle, its a direct fit to the puck system. Reason for the fixed , instead of say the RVK 3670 with the direct fit. It's simple for me, I have been in that position towing behind the axle with the Andersen , its not an issue. Being that 2" behind the axle ,I have no clearance problems with the cab, and I don't need to mess with a manual slider. I personally don't care for manual sliders, have owned two of them ,and towed with them for 15 years.
