I can't say I have a single complaint about my B&W Companion.

Super simple design. Super easy to hook up. Very robust.

I would definitely take a look at the Gen- Y hitch. It is a great system even though it requires safety chains and with modern trucks equipped with cameras it's very easy to hookup. On the plus side many modern trucks in this weight class have the gooseneck system from the factory. If you ever need to move or sell your camper finding a friend to move it would be fairly easy and finding a buyer is much easier. Many buyers are shocked when they start looking and traditional RV hitch systems.

I have good luck with the B&W, these are a nice solid hitch and congrats.

We run the same hitch. No issues with it and pretty easy to take apart to remove from the truck.

If I ever decide to return to a travel trailer it will be a Hensley or ProPride, an if we go back to a 5th wheel again we will only have a Hensley Trailer Saver, ran that 8 years on our truck when we fulltimed. Wonderful air hitch really made a smooth ride. Since your made the decision on your new hitch hope all works out well for you. The one you picked will work fine.

probably not worth mentioning on an f350 dually because the only available configuration since the mid 00s is an 8ft bed. dodge is currently the only company offering a short dually and ford didnt sell very many of them. theyre so much less convenient than a long bed.

I recommend the B&W companion 25k. You won't be disappointed in the quality, ease of use and if you want to fine tune the ride get some airlift 7500 bags with on board compressor.
Running this setup on our F450 and our 39FBBeacon. I'm in towing nirvana
