I got a V box from camping world in Henderson, NV. After I got home, I mounted the box, hooked up the Monty and started to pull out of my yard. This requires me going 3/4s across the street behind my house and then making a hard turn to the right. When I made the turn, the extended pin box took off the right lid from the V box. Literally. The old style pin boxes that extend straight down have no problem. The extended ones do.

Carefully check your turning capability with the DW watching closely and be ready to stop quickly. I ended up having new lids fabricated that are pretty flush with the box. Now I can use it.

Normal pulling is no problem. But, when you make a sharp turn be aware of how much clearance you have with the V lids.
