So ended up buying a 36' Keystone Montana Big Sky w/ 3 slides weighing in at 11,000 lbs for 15K. I am upgrading from a litlle 22 ft TT so maybee I will be able to make it to Riff Raff East. Here's a few pics.
That's a beautiful trailer, but I would raise the hitch height and/or lower the pin box a few inches so you get some more clearance between the trailer and the truck box.

I was thinking the same thing, on both points.
I don't know if I could even make a corner around here with the camper that close to the box. Definitely make me nervous!

Thank you Dan, but I don't have a fifth hitch installed yet in the photo. I just bought a Reese 16K and Universal mounting kit for the F250. I am looking for a link for some instructions right now. Anyone know of one? the one I found is temporarily down; Trailer Hitch Instructions For DrawTite, Reese, Hidden Hitch & More - etrailer.com
Your bed is 6' right? Don't know a ton about 5er hitches, except I've seen quite a few busted out back windows at campgrounds on short beds because the owner didn't have a sliding 5th wheel hitch for backing and those tight turns on even ground. Just make sure that Reese does that. Or maybe the pin on the camper is offset enough to the front....

Thanks for the tip. I read on a website that I am restricted to 30 degrees without a slider and a full 45 degrees with the slider. I am currently looking at two options a.) a slider hitch or b. a tounge extension for the 5r. you're absolutely correct though, thanks for sharing.

, yeah the guy I bought it from was kind enough to deliver it. Giving me time to install my new hitch.
