Question:
grand design 150 series is this hitch compatible with this RV? it has a swivel connection . the lighter weight of the anderson hitch would be a benefit

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you, however the Andersen Ultimate Connection # AM3200 referenced in your question is not compatible with swivel/rotating pin boxes. This is simply because the combination will produce too much movement to provide a secure connection.
For your 2015 Ford F-150, if you have the 8 foot bed, I recommend taking a look at the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30047. This is a really nice, 16,000 pound capacity hitch that features a 2-jaw locking system to provide a secure connection and a 4-Way pivoting head that will ease hookup, even on unlevel ground. The hitch itself, while certainly not as lightweight as the Andersen unit, does have a relatively light weight of around 95 pounds. I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit # RP56034-53 for the base rails and hardware. The included frame brackets will use existing holes in the truck's frame, which will drastically cut down on drilling and installation time.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this system that you can also check out.
