What is your "must have" for your rig?
My "Must Have", again due to my back, Mike, was my MORryde 90" 60% Sliding Cargo Tray for my front pass-through compartment - there's no way this aching old body can reach the middle of that cavern!!! 🤣
Man, I'm so glad to see your upload today, so thank you! We're currently finishing up a deal on a 24 Forest River Wildwood Heritage 369bl, and I requested a Shocker, but the dealer insisted they had no supplier. It's called the internet, but I digress. They had their resident rv expert share his experience with the Gen-Y, and we ended up purchasing it. You helped ease my old school mind sir.
Trust me. You will love it! It’s a little stiff the first 500 miles or so during the break in period but after that it’s smooth as butter. Thanks for following along with us and congrats on the new rig!
@@campinwiththeconfers that's exactly what the salesman said!
Nice review! I love that you found a way to use your truck as a truck when it's not towing, that is so important!
It’s a game changer for sure. They make one for your travel trailer too. Just sayin!!
We LOVE!!! out GEN-Y. It's really the only reason we were able to get a 5th wheel. We the truck bed to haul gear for work and with the gooseneck and the puck system in the back of out RAM, I can have that truck bed back in no time!
Love it! That will be our 1st upgrade on the new one!!
I also installed my hitch by myself and absolutely love it. We just drove from Denver to Longview. Washington didn’t even know the trailer is back there. Love it love it love it love your video man.
It’s crazy how much of a difference it makes. Thanks for following along with us! We appreciate the support.
The way I got the hitch in the back of the truck was very easily I have blocks where are the in attaches to the trailer and just walked it up. Got high enough and then slid it in.
After about 3000 miles it’s settle in and I love it even more offer more security that is not going to come part going down the road
@@markyeater2247 smart!!
First comment, YAY! "Buckin an the Truckin" lol. Glad it is working out for you, thanks for the review. Michelle
Thanks for watching. We love that thing. In my opinion Gen-Y makes the best hitch out there.
We are looking at getting a 5th wheel in a couple months and this is literally what we are going to do before it leaves the lot. Thanks for the video.
It will be the best upgrade you will do to your rig. Don't get frustrated the first 5 or 600 miles during the break in period. Its a little stiff at first but you will love it after that.
@@campinwiththeconfers Have heard that after the 1000 mile break in period they are awesome.
Hi Mike, excellent review and informational video - I'm just about to pull the trigger on one for our 2019 Keystone Montana/F-450 combo... my 74 yr old back can't take the slammin' and bangin' going from MA to FL every winter and back and longer! Anyway, I saw that you still had your "breakaway switch and cable" - where do you hook that with no 5th wheel hitch handle? That's where I currently hook mine! Thank you!!!
I hook it up to the safety chain with just enough slack so I can still make a good turn without engaging it.
@@campinwiththeconfers - Thank you very much Sir! I also have some factory hooks in the lower rear corners of my bed - I'll investigate those as well! 👍
❤ the review Mr. Mike..Great tips as well.. SOoo..Does Gen-Y deliver a Mrs. Shelley with their product ❓😂🤣..On a more serious note.. Gen-Y.. I'm tagging you from my Facebook page..Now how about a sponsorship for the channel.. Just saying 😂🤣..Thanks so much for sharing Mrs. Shelley and Mr. Mike ❤️🙂

We love ours! 2024 Silverado 2024 Avenue 32 rls
Agree. One of the best mods yet! There is another big one coming soon so stick around and check it out.
How much room do you have between the tongue and the back or the truck?
We have a long bed and we have no problem going to 90 degrees. I just try to not turn that tight if I can help it.
Hi!! How extreme of off roading can you do with this hitch? Am searching for our first fifth wheel and we go on some pretty rocky slow roads. Colorado back country. Am researching hitches ,before even finding our new house...Thanks much!! Jim
We have taken ours out through the Bad Lands in SD and on BLM land and haven’t had any problems.
Good morning ❤
Good morning!
So is the gooseneck during backing in pivoting on the ball? If so you need a long bed so when you get those tight 90 deg turn, you don’t hit the truck. Right? I have a 6’7” bed (short). So I have a Curt 5th wheel hitch that you have a wedge installed at the 5th wheel jaws of the hitch and you take out the back bolts and now when backing in, I can turn 90 degrees because it pivots under nose of the trailer and not at the hitch. Can that Gen-Y goose neck do that?
Great question! We used the same system when we had our short bed. Short answer is no, the Gen-Y will not do that but there is a ball re-locator kit that will move your pivot point back so you can get a tighter angle. But with that said, we try to never turn that sharp. 90 degrees is HARD on your axels, suspension parts, and the side walls of your tires. I will do a 3 or 4 point turn if I have to to keep the angle lower.
What about the torsion flex on your fifth wheel frame? This pin box does nothing to reduce the torsion and lateral stress that a goose neck give to the frame…..the test that Gen-Y did, was not addressing this type of stress that will crack your frame…..
With your truck at a 90 with the trailer, do you have good clearance with the pinbox to the side rails of the truck?
Short answer, Yes, we have plenty of room for the pin box to go to 90 degrees. Longer answer, I am always leery about flexing the axels at that tight of an angle. We do our best to do a 2,3, or even a 4 point turn if we have to so we don't put that much stress on the axels and sidewalls of the tires. Thanks for the question and for following along with us!! Mike & Shelley
@@campinwiththeconfers Hey Mike, is your bed the 8' long version or shorter?
@@paulcovert5781 we have an 8 ft bed.
Y not. Shocker ?
Is that a dad joke??!!
