Hey Richard, since the 2020 Wildcat 290 RL has a tapered nose you can use a Reese Goose Box like the part # RP85FR with a B and W Turnoverball hitch # BWGNRK1111 that fits your 2011 Ford F-250 with the offset ball part # BWGNXA4085 and you'd have really good turning clearance.

It's hard to say exactly how sharp of a turn you'd be able to make but I would easily assume pretty close to the full 90. How often do you need to be able to get to 90 degrees?

I noticed you said to use the 20,000 lbs Reese goose box. The camper I have is under 12,000 lbs can I use the 16,000 lbs Reese goose box or is there a reason you suggested the larger capacity one?

@RichardS Yeah you can use the part # RP94716-61301 that you referenced as well. You just wouldn't need to use the included spacers. It's about the same price as the higher capacity version and since there isn't really a downside to having too much capacity I figured that would be what you'd want but either part number would work just as fine for you.
