  • How Do I Determine The Correct Pivot Arm Position For My B&W Companion Hitch?
  • Good question Mel, and I don't blame you for being confused since there are a lot of options and there is probably more than one right answer. The correct pivot arm position will depend on the clearance between the nose of the camper and the cab of your truck. I have included some pictures below to help illustrate.

  • Recommended Gen 3 Goosebox for a Lippert 1621 Pin Box
  • No, not at all! You will be all good with the extra capacity. Since you have a Lippert 1621 pin box and you're looking to get a Gen 3 goosebox you will want the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter item # RP85FR. You will also need the Reese Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks item # RP49151. These are not included with the goose box but are legally required.

  • Will the Wheels on the Hollywood Racks Rack Valet Rolling Storage Cart Work in Grass?
  • No, they are not! The locking casters that are included with the Hollywood Racks Rack Valet Rolling Storage Cart for Hitch-Mounted Bike Racks item # HRRV-1 aren't going to work very well in grass. They're designed for hard surfaces. It will be pretty easy to swap them out for larger casters/wheels that will work in the grass. I have linked the instructions below so you can take a look at how this rack is assembled.

  • Is There an Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball For a 2012 Ford F-350 Short Bed With Factory Puck System?
  • Gen-Y currently only shows their 5" Offset # GY43XR only fitting the 2017 and newer Ford Super Duty trucks. I have included a drawing with the dimensions for this below you can check and see if it will fit your 2012 Ford F-350. If not another option would be to use a Rail Adapter # C88KR with an Offset Ball # 16055. Based on information I could find online I see the 2024 Brinkley Z3100 is going to come with a Lippert Rhino pin box. If this is what you have you will need the Gen-Y Hitch...
