I am purchasing a 2006 Forest River Grand Surveyor hopefully this weekend. Well at least putting a deposit on it at the dealer. My pull truck will be a 2013 F-350 6.7 diesel with the 6.5' short bed.
Anyways, I been told I don't "need" a sliding hitch but rather be on the safe side. I have found some nice condition Superguide 3300 16k hitches on craigslist for 350-450. My question I can't find is brackets for under my bed. I really would like to use the custom brackets maybe by reese or curtis so I am not drilling into my frame. Is this possible with this hitch? I have seen conflicting information online. And information on the Pull-rite website is not great due to the 3300 has been discountinued for newer model. Thoughts?
Pull right is very nice to deal with. I'd call them. They would have exactly what you need. Do it right and have no more worries.

I have the 3300. 9 years old and moved it from my 04 F-350 to my 15 F-350 last year. They have an underbed rail kit that didn't involve drilling (other than the holes in the bed). I don't think it pops right up, but they have it. It was a pretty easy install. While you can purchase from them, I ended up buying it off Amazon.
This is what you need: Part number 4425 - superrail mounting kit. It was about $300 on Amazon and came with all the hardware you need.
Our friends pulled a Grand Surveyor for a while. It was a 25' one as I recall. He had a 2001 F-250 diesel short box and a slider hitch. He backed in without sliding and it cost him a rear window. Not sure of the shape of his vs the new ones but he really did need the slider.
