Figured I’d start new thread and not clog up anyone else’s. So to start, I have a crewcab short bed with a B&W turnoverball. My 5v’r is a Grand Design 150 Series 278BH which came with the Turning Point pin box. Only aftermarket option to date is the Gen Y executive which is what I’m currently running. Please note, for warranty concerns, this pin box IS NOT approved by Lippert (not going into all that on this thread, I know what I got and what isn’t covered, I’m good, all others do your research and make your own decisions).
For the last 1,200 miles I’ve been running a Weighsafe Goose which is about 3” higher than a standard ball. On flat ground I have about 9 1/4” of clearance between the bed rails and front cap and can turn as sharp as needed so far. I cannot go 90* but I can turn around in my cul-de-sac and have been able to maneuver and back in everywhere I’ve been. Don’t know what the angle is but is pretty darn sharp and to be honest I don’t like binding up the trailer axles so turning sharp enough to worry about cab clearance is a rare occurrence. Since I’ll max in on pics, I’ll post the Weighsafe goose setup in this post, B&W 4” will be in post #2
Oh ya, trailer sits just a smidge nose high but tows like a dream. No issues or concerns whatsoever.
