Hi, Mike: I recently bought and installed a B&W Model 3400 slider hitch and it may be what you’re looking for. It installs over Ford’s factory-installed under-the-bed gooseneck hitch and gives you an extra 12″ of space when it’s in “maneuver” mode. It’s automatic in the sense that you only get out of the truck once to move the lever that pu…[Read more]
@happy2bcamping Great photos, Kevin! That looks like our kind of place.

Once again, thanks to all for your great suggestions. They have been a tremendous help.
We went RV shopping over the week-end at a different dealer. We like the salesman a lot and he has been in the business for 15 years. He did a great job of listening and answering our questions. He obviously knows a lot and is very good at explaining thi…[Read more]

Great information, DT. Thanks for taking the time to share it. As it happens, I just ordered the sliding hitch by B&W (Model 3400) this morning from http://www.etrailer.com. I decided that the extra $500 or so for the slider type hitch was a lot cheaper than repairing both the cab AND trailer when (not it) they connect. The tech support guy at…[Read more]

Terry: Thanks for the feedback. So far, I haven’t heard anything negative about the Forest River line and, from kicking a few tires, they do seem to be well built. It makes sense for the Grand Designs to be heavier since they are supposed to be made of better (heavier) materials. Their extra weight may be a good reason for us to look at oth…[Read more]

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to give me all that great information. I can see that I have a lot more homework to do before buying the 5er. It does help to have the truck already since I now know (or will soon know) what our limits are in picking an RV. So far, our favorite is a 2014 Forest River Blue Ridge 3775RL, but it’s too big for the…[Read more]

Thanks, Trip and Lisa. It’s good to hear from a fellow Hoosier. I appreciate your thoughts and we’ll definitely think about a smaller, lighter trailer since I’m not about to give up my wonderful “new” truck.
Best wishes,
Phil
PS: I do know how to spell “horse”. I’d blame the spellchecker, but I’m pretty sure “hourse” isn’t a wor…[Read more]

Our beloved sailboat sank off the coast of Cuba about one month ago (long, sad, off-topic story) and we are now very serious about boondocking in a fifth wheel. Last week, we invested in a 2011 F 250 King Ranch with a short (6′ 8″) bed and now need to find something to pull with it. We are leaning toward something less than two years old in t…[Read more]
