Reese goose box and the BandW 4 inch off set ball do you know what degree angle will be max for my turning radius so that my camper would not hit my truck cab?

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?
