Received my Reflection 150 series 220rk today
I was afraid I would have to remove the chaise lounge and add a sleeper sofa but it does become a large enough bed for my fishing buddy. More pixs in the next few posts.
The axles are now Dexter and that's a relief.

Looking good JDF ! Sitting nicely on the F150 . . . even without max payload. Will be really interested to learn how it tows !

Thanks. I am going to drop the ball one hole and take it out tomorrow for a longer run. I will report back.
BTW I think you said you had a friend that was towing a fiver with a new aluminum F150. What kind of fifth wheel hitch is he running? The Andersen Ultimate or something else? ThanksDonald AKA johndeerefarmer

Thanks. I am wondering now if this Andersen hitch isn't the cause of some of my trouble. I pulled my 29rs with my '16 F150 and had no issues other than strong winds. I had the B&W Patriot slider in it. This '17 has the Andersen and with both the 29rs and now the 220rk it's not as stable as I like. I am wondering if the Andersen is unloading my front axle too much. Tomorrow I plan on dropping the ball one hole and trying that. If it still doesn't suit me I am going to borrow a friends B&W Companion and see what it does. The steering felt a little light or loose today and there was nearly a constant jerking between the truck and fiver.
I will report back...Donald AKA johndeerefarmer

JDF - My Reese Slider puts the pin about 1" ahead of the rear axle centreline when towing. I can't say that the steering feels any different with/without the trailer attached. I have (well . . . had) a small clunk because of the various small tolerance stack up in the slider hitch between truck pulling and then trailer pushing when braking. Since going to the disc brakes, the trailer is always pulling back on the truck whether pulling or braking and the clunk is almost completely gone.
