First Time Set Up of B & W Companion in 2019 Super Duty

[JeffD68]

Scheduled to pick up my new 303 on 3/9/19. This is my first fifth wheel after numerous bumper pull trailers. My B & W Companion RVK3300 arrived in my driveway yesterday and I plan to install it this weekend. My truck is a 2019 F-250 long bed 4 X 4 with factory prep. I am wondering what the height and fore and aft set up should be initially. I understand that I very well might need to adjust it when I pick up the trailer but which bolt holes should I use when I first bolt up the pivot arms. My initial thoughts were all the way forward and maximum height. I know there are a lot of folks on this forum with my exact hitch and truck and would like to here your advice and benefit from your experience. Also, after some internet investigation, it looks like it's possible to cut out around the pucks and install the hitch over my Bedrug. Anyone around here done that? Thanks in advance.

I have a B&W Companion hitch. I set mine for the middle setting for height and to the most rearward position. You have a long bed so I would set yours to the most forward position.
My setup is different to yours so you may have to make some adjustments. I have a F350 4X4 short bed with a Reflection 337 and aftermarket MORryde pin box. The pin box has height adjustments also. The dealer should be able to make any adjustments at time of delivery. Just make sure you have at least 6" bed clearance.

All the best with your new 5th wheel. You're going to love how it tows.

Middle height setting for mine. Rearward position as well. My truck is a short-bed.

Set mine for max height and glad I did. Unit sets level for our rig. I also set it for pin directly over the axle.

I decided to set mine for the middle height and the forward position. I will make adjustments if necessary when we pick up our trailer Saturday afternoon.

You should be O.K. My dealer adjusted the pin box for me when I picked up our 5th wheel.
We want to see a pictures when you pick it up.

I set middle rear for mine (B&W slider in an 18 F350). Works perfectly. I brought my electric impact gun along when I went to pick it up in case I needed to adjust it.
