Recommended 5th Wheel to Allow Hitching Up and Unhitching at Tight Angles in Pole Barn
Question:
Currently have the Lippert Trail Air Flex Air on a Lippert frame. I need to hitch and unhitch at a tighter angle than allowed with the Trail Air when storing in the pole barn. Will the Goose Box be a good option without sacrificing trailering performance and safety. Already have the Ford puck system. Assuming the goose box couples at any towing angle allowed with the towing combination.

Helpful Expert Reply:
If your current Lippert Pin Box is number 0719, 1621 or 1621HD then the Goose Box Air Ride Coupler would be a great option for your needs without sacrificing trailering performance and safety.
The Goose Box # RP85FR is the option you will want when trying to hitch up and unhitch at a tighter angle, like in your pole barn. You are correct that it will allow you to hitch up at any allowed angle with the towing combination. The Goose Box has a capacity of 20,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 5,000 lbs with a 2-5/16 inch ball.
