    I use the turning point & it works great once it's hooked up. I need to adjust my wedge a bit I think. I pull with a 2500 GMC crew cab 6.5' box, standard hitch & I can whip a tight U turn with no issues. It pulls like a dream compared to our old 35' travel trailer, no sway & no white knuckles when a semi passes, you'll love it.

    I have used both options, it seems there is more angle room when using the turning point. The only problem I see is when you take it to a big shop like Lazydays they put bolts in to lock it so they can move it around and they usually don't remove the bolts when you get it back.

    We are towing a 295RL with an F150 using a standard Pullrite hitch and Turning point pin box with the Lippert wedge. So far 2300 miles from Ohio to Arizona. The truck/trailer combo handles great. No problems.

    Thanks to all, super encouraging to see actual users happy with the turning point. Unfortunately as much as I want to use the Blue Ox it looks like I’ll need a different hitch to use the turning point. Now I need to find something that works with a wedge that is light & easy to remove, the dealership is covering my hitch up to $2000.

    I know everyone seems to recommend the B&W as the best of the best but what's the weight on it for removal? I need to use the bed of my truck when I'm not camping during the season & want something light that's easy to remove. Do you remove yours often or just leave it in?

    It is not bad. It comes in two sections. I can remove it by myself without any tools. Good thing about it is I can lock both parts down so it can't be removed. I also able to lock the handle so no one can open it when I am not around.

    I remove my B&W quite often. It comes out in a couple of minutes. 2 pieces that weigh approximately 75 lbs. each.

    I have a Curt A16 hitch that I use with the Turning Point. Very happy with the hitch. I can easily remove it in one piece by myself. It can be separated into to two pieces for less weight.

    Looks like the Curt & the B&W are on the top of the list for use with the turning point since they can both be removed easily. How much harder is it to hook up with the wedge installed? Being a new fifth wheel owner I’m sure there’s a learning curve to all of this but I don’t want to make it worse.
