Here it is, after 2 months of researching and scouring the dealers on the internet I finally got it.
2015 F350 Lariat CC LB 4X4 Dually Magnetic with Black Interior.

We ordered a 2016 Cedar Creek 36CKTS and that will be next, after a fifth wheel hitch. I'm thinking about a Companion, any suggestions?

I hope the pictures make it, it's my first try.

Simple fix for parking exactly where you want to is hang a tennis ball from the ceiling that touches your windshield when you pull in to exactly where you want to park.


Try these. Work a lot better than a tennis ball. With the short distance you have, they would work good. Used them for 5 years when we had a house. Made parking the dually easy.


Looks good but I would just trip over them.

That is a neat idea. If you put it right in front of the driver you would park in the exact same spot every time. The only down side would be what to do with it if you also remove the vehicles to use the garage as a workspace.

If it is close enough to a wall you could stick some velcro on the wall and stick it there when you use the garage for other things.


Just use a clothes pin or the line to hold the ball higher on the string.

Hang a 2x8 on the garage wall, at bumper height, and lightly touch it when you pull in. That's how the DW gets hers in the garage. After I fixed the drywall...

That first time in the garage must have been a nail biter. They just don't make garages deep enough.

Thanks Cummins12V98 , I sure did like those RAM's but the dealerships where I am located just didn't seem that anxious to make a deal and the guy I bought this from sold me my previous Ford and made me a great deal so that was my deciding factor. All of the big 3 make very capable trucks, you just have to decide which is your favorite flavor, and/or who wants your business.

May not agree on the truck but Companion is second to none!

Actually the truck looks nice!
