Gen-Y install at Dan's Hitches, Elkhart Indiana - Full Time RV 

They were great. They had a plan ahead of time and all the parts needed. They even had just in case parts that were not used. Truely thought of everything before they started.

100% agree.

We really like ours. I-10 gave it a real test. not a single buck or chuck the whole way from Houston to Mobile. I think we are going to keep it.

We will have the drive in another video. This one was already pushing against our time limit. I will say it’s night and day difference.

Getting the bed space back was big for us. We carry aux water when we boondock a few times a year. Gen-Y and RAM air bags make for a pretty good ride.

I dont cross them. they arent long enough. I do use them every time though.

We are so happy with it, we put it on the new 5th wheel. It truly has been amazing difference.

Yeah, they made it look easy.

Ha ha. That’s our next video. Working on it now. Ours was bad, really bad. What did you go with?

@OurRoadLessTraveled so installed Cre3000, sumo springs, and moryde cross brace on center hanger Then install Carlisle CSL16 tires Right now doing performance upgrades to truck so haven't pull trailer yet

@@OurRoadLessTraveled did u get ur new trailer house ??

@@jeffwatson2234 No not yet. Still "thinking about it". We did a much smaller upgrade. Shackles and wet bolts.

I let you know how it tows Remember you all have a standing dinner when u get to NE INDIANA

We bought the chains from the same place that did the install. Tell Dan we said hello. dans-hitch.com/

Great questions. there is not delectable weight difference. the reason is that the Gen-Y pin box weights more than the 5th wheel pin box. When you add the 5th wheel pin box and the hitch, it weights about the same as just the Gen-Y gooseneck pin box. As far as handling, yes, big difference. We had a couple times that the truck and 5th wheel were vastly unlevel in different directions, the 5th wheel king pin did not want to come loose and dang sure did not want to connect back up. the goose ball has no problem. The other and most beneficial is ride quality. We had a B&W and zero complaints with it. Its still very ridged and would buck on bad roads. The Gen-Y has dual torsion bands built in and absorb 99% of what a bad road can dish out. We have one section on 565 headed into Huntsville that would cause the 5th wheel to buck no matter what speed we would go. Its the 3rd bridge expansion joints. the Gen-Y did not buck at all. It does not bang on the truck, and most of the time we don't know its back there. This holds true for our 35ft and our new 38ft 5th wheel. They also just put out a video from a 3rd party showing they put less stress on the 5th wheel frame. Brinkley teamed up with them to do the testing. truly one of the best comments and questions we have received, thank you.

250 ft lbs. They did 150 ft lbs and then a second round to bring them up to 250 ft lbs.

Wow, that is a lot. I need to swap out my grade 5 bolts (which came with the original Rhino box) and upgrade to grade 8 bolts.

Per Gen-Y, recommended torque is 160 ft lbs (grade 8) which aligns with IFI guidelines. @@WestsontheMove

@@caseydoodles8125That is awesome. Thank you!

'Love it' would not be a strong enough statement! It really smooths out the bad roads.

Dan's bought it from us, gve us credit towards the Gen-Y. it was a fair price. it was either 600 or 800 bucks they gave us for it

@@OurRoadLessTraveled thats a good price hows the hitch working out?

@@soggybottom23 we thought the price was more than fair. As for the Gen-Y. Freaking love it. A tad bit harder to hook up but the ride is 100% better. Add the bed space back and it’s a no brainer. Would absolutely do it again. Here’s the thing. The Gen-y pin box cost the same as buying a 5th wheel hitch for the bed of the truck. I’m in the gooseneck and bed space team all day.

@@OurRoadLessTraveled thats where I'm at I'm ready to not have to pick that heavy companion hitch out of the truck along with the ride improvement it will be worth every penny!

@@soggybottom23I had to put my 5th wheel into my truck bed, I got it in by myself but hurt my back pretty bad. I decided to either get the gen y or a goose box.

Thanks for the info and appreciate you watching.

I can see that. Hooking up the gooseneck is more of a pain with very little tolerance for being off. I still have to use the bed camera to get it. I do like the bed space and it does ride way better.
