Question:
I’m looking to buy the demco hitch for my 2024 F250 with factory pucks, and I’m buying a 2024 keystone cougar 316rls. Do I need any additional parts other than the hitch for that camper? It comes with the road armor pin box, but I do not know the model number or anything

Great question, Austin!
The Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550024 that fits your 2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty will work with the Lippert Road Armor pin box, but you will need the Capture Plates # DM6171 in order for these to work together.
The Lippert Road Armor pin box is a rebranding of their Rota-Flex pin box which is why these are needed.

Hey Austin, how did things go pairing the Demco Autoslide hitch with your Keystone Cougar? Were the capture plates the right fit with the Road Armor pin box? Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar combo.
