Thank you for your recent purchase of a Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter # RP85FR.

Some air chucks - the chuck is the valve on your compressor or other air pump - will have a size/shape that will not be compatible with the inflation valve on your Reese Goose Box. Some chucks have a shape that will prevent close enough contact to fully depress the pin inside the bag's inflation value. This would block air flow.

Another less likely possibility is that there is a problem with the valve itself.

Both possibilities can be checked by using other compressors/hoses to inflate the bag. We had a customer that ended up trying several different chucks (at a local tire store) before he found one that would work to inflate his bag.
