kdbgoat said:I haven't used one. I did research it though. I have always read that goose neck conversions are harder on the fiver's frame and could possibly void the warranty. Considering that Lippert promotes the Reese Goose Box on their website, I'd say you should be good to go if you decide to go with it. Again, that's just my opinion.
What size and weight of a 5th wheel are you towing? I am thinking about a 2005 30' Holiday Ramber Alumascape with the Ranch Hitch Adapter.Joezeppy said:You are correct. Lippert fully endorses the Goose Box. It's designed with a forward arc rather than the traditional adapters that are purely vertical. It also has a cushion/spring type action built into it. I considered it when I was researching hitches but decided on the Andersen due to it's lower weight and ease of removing the adapter block (so it could be moved by a truck with a regular hitch). Had I not gone with the Andersen, the Goose Box was my 2nd choice.
I dont want a conventional 5th wheel hitch with the truck bed always being tied up.
Our Hideout is 34'-11" and has a GVWR of 11,200 lbs. While I have not weighed it yet, based on a CAT scale weight of our prior TT and estimating the same amount of cargo I think we're around 10,000 - 10,250 lbs.Mickey G said:What size and weight of a 5th wheel are you towing?

Keep in mind I'm using the Andersen Ultimate 5th wheel hitch. It is not their ranch/goose neck adapter.Mickey G said:...with the Ranch Hitch Adapter.
