Purchased the Reese goose box when I purchased our 2017 Puma 25RKS. All my help r all gone and trying to disassemble a fifth wheel hitch alone is work. My bed of my truck is always available; towing the RV with my HD2500, gas engine works great also. I have experienced some air loss to the air bag when in storage.

[@kenbrown6095]

I have had a few issues with my first one, was resolved almost immediately with a replacement. My new one swivels at the mounting point of the cable release, so it now does not stress with air in it. I never let the air out to decouple. I LOVE this hitch so much! Even with the issues ive had i will always pull with a goose box!

[@hannahbrown3537]

I have this setup, and it works great! I agree with the theft...if someone has a ball it’s so easy to hitch up and go!

[@daman739]

That unhitching cable can be adjusted to give it some slack, that what I did with mine. Love the hitch and the video.

[@Bobs-bd3yo]

I have had mine for a month no leaks, no problem. We just came across I-10 from Florida into Houston and boy did the road have some very bad sections through Louisiana but I like how the Reese hitch handles it. Like it was stated, it is a little tricky at first getting used to lining up the hitch with the ball but really not a problem after a few times. I ordered mine and had the dealer install the hitch. In the beginning he tried to change my mind and this was five months ago and by the time I picked my unit up he said he had put eight on new fifth wheels ( while trying to change my mind the product manager said he might put on one or two on a year) and I wondered if your videos had something to with others decision to opt for the gooseneck hitch. Thank you very much for your well put together videos they have been extremely helpful.

[@scottfletcher199]

I like the fact that you have Safety Chain's with this setup. That would be great peace of mind for me. Great Video!

[@Charlietuna49]

Nice video. I've watched all of your videos. I had the Reese Goosebox installed on my new Arctic Fox, 29-5T fifth wheel, which I started full time rving. I also have the Ford 450. I installed the camera you suggested which is very helpful. I haven't had problems with tension on the release. I'll have to monitor the pressure on the air bag.

[@davidrosenkrantz4854]

One thing great about the goosebox is the off road capability. I use my Arctic Fox 5th wheel on mountain roads that would bind up a 5th wheel hitch. I also use a 5" offset ball that gives extra room between the truck box, and even more important an extra 5" between the tailgate and trailer when hitching up. I put my chains on the front of the goosebox and they are only about 16" long, and that is where the spring hooks are on my truck. I also am very happy with the goosebox. I bought the 16,000lb one as my trailer weighs about 12,000lbs, Love the quiet smooth ride and the clean truck bed. I like the chains, gives you a second line of defense. The only hitch I have seen fail personally, was a 5th wheel hitch. Brand new Ford and Trailer came apart right on the only red light in Nephi. I helped him jack it back up on the truck. Yea after that I don't mind the 10 seconds it takes me to hook up the chains.

[@switz11]

We love our 20K Goosebox. I installed the bed camera but it has now stopped working so I have to figure out why. I can't recommend the Goosebox enough; it does everything I wanted it to do.

[@timberbeastwaco]

AirBag Loss, keep in mind, If you don't have a auto hight adjustment like on the axles temperature, air pressure, and altitude will change the air pressure in your hitch as well as your tires. I noticed this when I was driving many years ago. I kept taking the truck in for air leaks. Turned out as infrequent as the leaks were weather temperature was the big factor. If your tires need air most likely the airbags follow suit. Hope this helps. Mark/Waco

[@tomsplace239]

Plumb a conventional airbag wireless compressor into the goosebox with a qd fitting. Set the pressure desired and go. Compressor monitors and maintains the bag. When done. Air down the bag and disconnect the line.

[@Valor_73737]

Very informative! Thanks! I have been towing goose necks since the mid 1970s! I have been reluctant to go 5th Wheel because of the in the bed hitch requirement! This provides me with a viable alternative.

[@Jskarda2244]

About the cable being tight. I found that you dont have to have it so tight, you can loosen the stopper and move it back a little and it will still release off the ball.

[@shaunbuxton1990]

I installed my 20k Reese goosebox a couple of months ago and finally got to use it a couple of times last month. Would never go back to a traditional fifth wheel hitch. It is totally quiet. no clunking or clanking. Air pressure has not been a problem. Have a SWB F350 and have no clearance issues. Also have a Titan Travel Treker 50 gallon fuel tank at the front of the bed with no clearance issues.

[@vernonknight5827]

What about backing up is there enough clearance for 90* turns without having a slider system?

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

Looking forward to seeing the system you and your buddy came up with for the goose neck hitch.

[@MRHEAT20]

Great information- always something to learn

[@SouthernOutfitter]

love the side camera!

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

[@jasonman1515]

I have the same gooseball hitch connector. Not a single problem so far.

[@tsicking4264]

I have this system. Your issues with the ball lock release. I operate mine standing at my trailer jack control panel. A little para cord tied to existing handle with a carabiner on the pull end makes for easy. operation outside the truck.

[@corgily]

Thank you for the video.

[@85montess1]

I just bought this same goosebox for my camper but I also ordered an airlift wireless one compressor system that I am going to use for it so if the valve on the goosebox does purge any then the compressor will auto turn on to always maintain the pressure I need it to be at

[@Trenchdigger]

I'm a shopping for my first RV. One of my concerns with fifth wheels was losing the utility of my truck. Wow! Thank you for introducing me to the goose box! Now I have more RV options not limited to travel trailers.

[@gungadinn]

For the unlocking cable, I think I’d fabricate a pulley assembly mounted horizontal so that’s its reachable from the side of the truck. I’d also change the bolt where the cable attaches so the cable isn’t clamped tight. If there’s space inside the pin box, I’d reverse the fasteners, re-torque to factory specifications, then use a torque stripe product. Torque Stripe is similar to the arrows installed on lug nuts to show the lugs aren’t loose. Shows positively that the fastener hasn’t loosened up with a quick visual inspection.

[@rebeccaandrews7685]

yeah i agree. i would want to check the nuts everytime

[@Turtle_the_fupa_slayer]

This was only solution to my 2012 mega cab. Due to having a bw hitch already and a fuel tank/toolbox combo the rails an bw companion would not work. So I got the bw offset ball an boom it works great. It feels so much more sturdy than a fifth wheel. Kinda like when I pull a true gooseneck. It’s kinda a pain to line up by yourself but I’m gonna get the camera.

[@dwkassebaum]

FYI - the goosebox directions say to release the unlocking cable once the trailer is off the ball and to attach the trailer with the lock in the locked position. The lock will open to accept the pinbox as it lowers onto the ball and give you an audible click when engaged. I left mine unlocked for about a month (with tension in the wire like in your video) and noticed that the spring in the locking mechanism was weaker.

[@capncrunch9053]

I don't have a problem with my cable being too tight. Was surprised to see you were having this issue.

[@JKFulltimeAdventures]

Love the idea of the Goosebox, only one problem. Some of our 5th wheels are at or just above 20k in loaded weight. Doesn't really seem safe to have a pinbox maxed out. I have heard and seen a new GenY pinbox replacement that is similar but uses torsion instead of airbag and shocks. It is rated at 25k. Have you heard of it or can you get your hands on one and review it for us? Love your channel and we trust your unbiased reviews!

[@takeitallin6882]

Thanks for the video. Good review. I have also had this same goosebox ... mine since July of this year. I had seen your original video and followed your lead. The only comment I have is that - in this most recent video - you had the cable in the unlocked = taut - position. If you check out the "manual", you will see that they recommend that you leave the cable loose - in the locked position/slack - when not hitched... unless I am mistaken.

[@bonoble001]

I never have no problem hooking and unhooking with my my Reese’s goosebox but I grease it every time I hook up

[@bbcooter388]

This review was very helpful. I recently purchased a 5th Wheel and a new F350 Dually. I wasn't excited about putting a 250 lb hitch into the back of my truck and hauling it around everywhere as we sight see in our travels. The Anderson hitch looked tempting, but, I wasn't too thrilled about reports of the hitch chafing the bed-liner off the truck bed. So, I found the Reese Goose Box and your first video on it. I am going to be replacing my Lippert Pinbox with the 20k Reese Goose Box. Everything I have read says that the Goose Box pulls 5th Wheels with ease and comfort while eliminating all manner of issues associated with pulling a 5th Wheel.

[@Lilfarmrboy]

BB while I have no doubt the Goosebox is all that I've heard, mostly great things, I do own a Anderson hitch for almost a year now and quite honestly it's the best hitch I have ever owned. I have not (thankfully) experienced any bed chaffing on my Rhino liner. Not so much as a mark. Unless someone were to install the Anderson hitch incorrectly I really don't see how it actually could chafe the bed.

[@michaeldurkan6794]

@@Lilfarmrboy I have a spray in bed liner and also the perfect outline of my Anderson frame. At least I know exactly where to place it before tightening down.

[@GVM2024]

Anderson makes a rubber mat to place the Anderson Hitch on.

[@waltfore280]

Nice video. Maybe a tab in front of the locking lever and another tab on the lever it self to install a padlock. Or just a tab with a 90 degree bend that the lever would rest behind in its locked position, that way the lever itself could have a hole drilled to line up with the 90 degree tab for the lock. Hope this makes sense.

[@pj9731]

Great follow up BTBRV! I have a new 16K Goose Box headed my way for my 28 RE Laredo. I was able to get it for $846.00 total with free shipping this past Friday. I thought it was a good deal. I am using a gooseneck adapter right now but I hope this new goose box will eliminate some of the chucking that I currently have.

[@ernestfeltman5472]

Where did you get it for that price?

[@mrmped1]

Just a heads up, you need to adjust the cable stop on your goose box if it's to tight. Use an Allen wrench to loosen the stop and adjust.

[@pj9731]

Question BTBRV, did you lift up the front end of the Goosebox after the bolts and nuts were installed to take the slack out before tightening and torquing the bolts? I used a floor jack and a 3' 2"x4" board to apply some pressure and simulate being connected to the goose ball on my truck before tightening & torquing.

[@insightinspections1722]

Can you make a video on your solar panel install? I really like that setup.

[@haroldlm64]

Good stuff!

[@mikeheyd6428]

I really like my goose box now. Mine ended up having a leaky pressure relief valve that was rubbing on the goose box frame because of the way it was orientated from production. I removed it, installed a Tee and just added pressure gauge. "Its alot easier to monitor for leaks now" I run it between 40psi and 45psi on the 2,750lbs tongue weight trailer and everything seems to be great. I want to do more testing and measuring but I don't feel the green yellow sticker indacator for ride height on the air bag is 100% accurate on the side because even since day one at max pressure I was almost past the yellow mark indacating it needed more air . I also had to adjust the collar on the release cable to eliminate the problem you described in the release position.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

I have to agree that the sticker isn't correct. I also would need to fill the bag to about 65psi to get the green sticker to show. I run mine around 45-50psi.

[@justsomedude2962]

We have had nothing but trouble with our goose box. We're on the third check valve and on last trip, we had to stop every hundred miles or so to air it up. Unit is at dealership now to remove it. I'm going back to the companion setup.

[@leeb834]

Would it be possible to install one of the sensors for a TPMS like Tire Minder onto the valve stem for the Goose Box's air bag? If that would be doable it'd be a great way to keep tabs on the hitch's air pressure.

[@RDLouks]

I can see that the Reese Goosebox does have some nice features, I could not use it because my tow vehicle is a short box F-350 Crew Cab and would not have the clearance when turning as I am afforded with my Auto-Slide system. Something I will keep in mind if/when I upgrade my tow vehicle. Thanks for the unbiased feedback.

[@bobstewart9365]

I have a 19 f 350 crew cab srw short bed and have no issues love it !!

[@sharidandan4172]

I am also using the20k goosebox on my 350 dually to pull my 16k lb. Toy hauler. Love it but my air bag does leak. I have read some post that people have taken off the pressure release valve and just monitored their air pressure with a manual gauge instead. I will probably do the same

[@tomm_d]

Sharidan Dan: remove the pressure relief valve and reinstall with Teflon tape on threads. Until I did that on mine, it kept leaking down. I wouldn’t recommend removing the valve, in case you get yourself in a high bind situation, I’ve been in one and the valve did its job and blew off some pressure.

[@maynardholmes8870]

As a trucker I can say 21 years now if you have airbags eventually they will leak of course your not going thru the abuse of trucking however it’s will happen not to worry changing airbags is usually an easy thing should be inexpensive

[@krflyguy2117]

Thanks for the follow up. Hey, any chance I can buy one of your old B&W hitches for my 450??? I thought it was great that they sent you another one when you complained about your first one. Have a great holiday season.

[@sprucegoose1016]

I’m def buying one 😎

[@swabbster3]

Put a tire pressure monitor on it, you can get the 5 tire kit, your 4 trailer tires and air bag as the spare tire

[@witkr904]

It also improves brake stability. Take your 5th and slam your trailer brakes only, then slam a goose. 5th will dive your ass, goose slows you down straight. The closer you are to your rear axle the more stable you will be. And of course the articulation in a campground, meaning open up more spaces and easier to hook up on uneven parking areas.

[@JarvisOutdoors]

What’s the solar panel used for that you have mounted on top of the goosebox. Great video thanks for the update?

[@burnoutcountryband7241]

When I bought my Heartland Bighorn, the Reese Goosebox was one of two choices I considered for the 2015 F-350 SD DRW. The other one was the Andersen Aluminum Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection. Did you ever had a chance to test the Andersen Hitch? I would really like to know your Opinion. Regards, Manny

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!!

[@chrismiller1919]

How about a similar video on the long term use of your Air Lift airbags. Any issues over time with leaks, compressor failure, cold weather issues, etc)? I was set to buy a set, then I saw the Roadmaster Active Suspension video and now I’m undecided. It’s for a 3/4 diesel pulling a 34ft fifth wheel.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Both would be pretty effective for what you're looking for. I've had no issues with the Airlift system other than the module that controls the bags with the remote was installed a little too far back and I have range issues. I'm going to move it about 4' forward on the frame rail.

[@XaviarJS]

The Diagonal struts that's on the front landing gear is that stock or aftermarket install?

[@nonrevhogan8938]

Any reason you just didn’t adjust that tension setting on cable to let cable out some with air still in bag??

[@Tsiri09]

Is one safer than the other? I'd give up space in the back of the truck for add'l safety. I know a lot of friends who made a hinged plate to cover the ball so the whole truck bed could be used.

[@aldemattos196]

Just curious why you went with this set up when in a previous video you did not recommend gooseneck on a fifth wheel?

[@edwardjackson5169]

What’s the solar panel on the goose box for? I’m having my 5th wheel delivered in a week and I’m getting all the info and ideas I can use and this looks like a good idea but I can’t tell what it’s used for. Also what do you think of adding peel and stick solar panels to the roof of a 5th wheel? Be advised mine that’s coming is an older ‘07 Raptor. Not these new ones that have the connection already installed.

[@jonhudlow6245]

this of your topic but i am purchasing my first fifth wheel camper in the spring and i have questions about what hitch to use i have seen your review of the anderson hitch but i am wondering if you have done a review of the blue ox super ride 6200

[@XRPatriot]

Great info thanks. Is a vid possible hook a lifted truck to a goose box

[@cmalbertosub]

Do you have a video about how your solar panel is setup - what is it connected to? How did you run the wire?

[@Blakehx]

Great info thanks! What's your solution for locking it?

[@randybryant9936]

Cool

[@brisonpalmer6730]

I am considering the Anderson Hitch and the Reese gooseball hitch which would you recommend between the two.

[@4383csherman]

You know you can adjust the bead on the cable so you can relieve the tension because of the air bag

[@tufelhunden5795]

I notice most trucks have a different tow ratings between fifth wheel and gooseneck. Does this act like a gooseneck for weight purposes, or is it still considered a fifthwheel.

[@witwer]

Your cable must have the stop in the wrong spot...you should not have a problem disengaging the cable regardless of the amount of air in the airbag. The collar stop on the cable is adjustable, secured in place by a set screw. I would move it towards the handle a 1/4" or so and see if that fixes your problem.

[@myleshansel7950]

It's amazing you have had that hitch 6 months already, just seemed like yesterday. I have a F-350 dually that's only job is towing the 5th wheel, and I have a F-250 daily driver so I just leave the hitch in the truck, but I did buy a cover for it. What RV park is that???

What happens with this setup when you have a short bed and a slider fifthwheel and with this you loose your ability to slide the unit back for tight turns. Any way to fix that problem!

[@ryangalloway1244]

Is your truck a short bed or long bed. My question is can this be used reliably with a short bed 3500 Ram and still have clearance for 90 degree turns?

[@dennysivells9977]

I am wondering how this system compares with the Anderson Ultimate hitch?

have you figured a way to lock the hitch yet?

[@davidm2645]

I really liked the video! Very informative. I actually looked up the product for my RV. The ONLY "brand" replacement pin box offered was for a Lippert. I called the company and was rather rudely informed that they do not provide a replacement unit for my (LeLand) pinbox and that there were no plans to do so in the future. Have you heard this? What about those of us that have other makes of pinboxes? How can we purchase and enjoy this product/design??

[@rexland2401]

I watched your video I liked it up to a point I have a Toyota you need to make a video of the receiver part of the hitch and what you had to do to manufacture the receiver part make a video that please

[@tysleight]

How many 5th wheels are stolen a year? I only ask because a good friend played a joke on me and bought what he thought was " the best HD had" . KZbin, 15 minutes and a shim I had circumvented his lock.

[@ronniesolomon5235]

Funny you posted this. I was researching your setup. The problem I have is my bed is 6’4” and I’m being told I can’t do the same set up you have because the front of my camper will hit my back window. I’d really like to switch to a gooseneck so I can have the space in my bed back

[@erhodes352]

Ronnie Solomon - I am researching this set up and have the same issue. My truck has a 6’6” bed. I found that you can use a 4” offset ball that will move it back 4” from the cab. I’m trying to figure out if that is enough though.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

You can, but just be sure that the back portion of the goosebox does not pivot and hit your bed on sharp turns.

[@erhodes352]

Big Truck Big RV - Good point to think about. I would think it shouldn’t hit the sides of the bed as it’s still on the center line of the truck as it would be in the normal position. The offset ball simply moves the ball 4 inches closer to the bed but keeps it in the middle. However, it could hit the rear tailgate if it’s too far back. I hadn’t really thought about that being an issue. I use the Andersen Ultimate right now and with the coupler set to give me the 4 inches back I can get to just about 90 degrees with my 5er. But, the pin box hits the rails for my Access roll up bed cover (thank you for that recommendation!!) if I am off camber in a tight back up turn. It would clear my bed rails just fine though. I wish there was a way to test these out before spending $1,000 for one...

[@daveczarnecki7671]

Any updates on using the 4" offset ball? Is there an offset puck system ball? That's what I would be interested in.

[@bross824]

Will this hitch work with a short box pickup?

[@joshbeaty2498]

Any update on the air bag leaking? I pulled my camper from storage to my house in order to get ready to take out for the weekend. Long story short... after a few hours I checked the level and it was empty! I aired it back up and will check in a bit. It’s hooked up to my truck in the driveway.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

I've not had that issue, but in one of my newest videos you'll see they switched to a better valve on the Gen 2 that just came out

[@01AudioVideo01]

3:28 Is that a friction cap to put on the ball when connected to the goosebox? If so, where can I get one? I have a gooseneck trailer and want to have an alternative to using grease.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

It's just a ball Cover. Keeps grease off of my pants

[@michaeldurkan6794]

After doing some research, I have learned that a gooseneck setup can put added stress on the frame of the fifth wheel. Is this true? or is that only when using a gooseneck adapter? I like the idea of not having a fifth wheel hitch in my truck. I currently use an Anderson system so I already have a BW turnover ball. please advise on the added frame stress issue. Thanks

If I'm not mistaken Big Truck Big Rv has said the same thing in the past, has he changed his mind? I for one would really like to know what different manufacturers of 5th wheels have to say on this subject.

[@Then.Jonnnny]

Could you put a tire pressure sensor on the air bag so you could monitor it while towing ?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

interesting. Probably

[@pj9731]

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. I have a 10 sensor TPMS and I use two of them for spare tires. I'll just have to reprogram the alarm values and give it a try when my new Goose Box arrives or, I may end up buying a separate motorcycle TPMS and plugging the monitor into the dash power port.

If you have so much movement in your fifthwheel connection shit is worn out it needs repair.

[@combsfan5]

Were did you get the solar charger? and how is it attached to the pin box. Also did you have to add wire to it to reach the battery from were it is installed. Does it stayed hooked to the battery while hooked to shore power. Thanks.

Hello, I am one of your subscribers and have a quick question. Any suggestions on a tonneau that can be left on while towing. Equipment is 2019 F350 6 3/4 bed with demco highjacker and 2019 360IBL Chapparral. First time owning a 5th wheel. Above roll up tonneau or in bed roll up like Retrax?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

I use the Access bedcover

[@MP57719]

Did you come up with an anti theft gizmo

[@462opd2]

Didn’t you say in another video not to go to a gooseneck hitch because it causes more stress on the trailer and it will void the warranty??

[@mark98070]

Would have been nice to see you hook up and then unhook

[@p.t.anderson1593]

He has done what you are looking for in previous videos as well as an install video.

Can you use the GooseBox with a B&W Turn Over ball set up on a 2018 ram 2500?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

I don't see why not

[@billymann5325]

What ball kit ( puck system ) do you have in your truck bed for that goosebox?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

I use the B&W Oem drop in ball.

[@michaelbraun8751]

What is the towing experience like? More control, less control, sway, rock, no difference?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

honestly, it feels pretty much identical to my B&W companion I had.

[@srad98ful]

Can you review a Springdale 311re please for a traveling construction worker

[@BigTruckBigRV]

If I get a chance, sure

@@BigTruckBigRV thanks love your channel I'm a traveling electrical contractor doing shutdowns appreciate it

[@vrugtmanable]

Am I right to assume that the Goosebox can only be fitted in a Longbox configuration?

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Generally, yes

Love it for my shortbed ford !!
