curious how you like it. I just went with the reese goosebox on mine, Sure it a sweet thing with just a 5 lb ball to deal with. I also went to the curt pucks or whatever they call them for the chains. They are bigger and can take the 20K clevis.

I will let you know end of next week . I’m scheduled to go do the punch list and orientation next Tuesday and Wednesday . Bring it home on Thursday, almost 500 mile trip home from Kansas. I have the B&W gooseneck ball and chain tie down set .

I’m here in Kansas picking up the new rig . Just hitched up and ready to go on a test pull . Did a quick 5 mile pull and it’s all seems good . Glad I went with the gooseneck hitch.

Fantastic Rig, Great colors You will enjoy that for years to come !

If you don't mind could you please tell me what brand / model of awnings are installed on your camper ?
I may need to upgrade mine.
Thanks

edit* I can't actually contribute to the 5th wheel pics *yet* as we still have a travel trailer. But I just picked up my new to me '18 F250 CCSB a month ago after having an '09 F150. We have our sights set on a Reflection 290BH after the wedding and planning on 5-6 week cross country road trip next June as a delayed honeymoon once she's finished with nurse practitioner school.

First pull with the new 5thwheel and 2020 F450 truck . Went around 470 miles and averaged around 10 mpg . The Gen-Y 5thwheel to gooseneck did good . Not much to compare to since this is my first 5thwheel. The truck did almost 18 mpg not pulling on the way up to Kansas .

It's beautiful! You will get lots and lots of enjoyment out of that rig. We're going with the 350 dually, and our trailer will be 40' as well. BEAUTIFUL!!
