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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
@dwkassebaum 5 жыл бұрын
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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??

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

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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.
