Can Trailer with 10k Reese Revolution Pin Box be Towed by Trailer with Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
I have a 2016 Forest River Flagstaff with a factory installed 10K Reese Revolution which is narrower than traditional wing sets/pin boxes. Lippert sent me their detail sheet for the wing set. It is 642196 but that does not really help me and does not match any goosebox part numbers. I would like to pull this rv with a gooseneck adapter like a goosebox or something that will free up my pickup box. Is there a compatible goosebox or alternative? If I cannot find a gooseneck adapter, what fifth wheel hitches are compatible with the revolution that i can attached to my BandW turnover ball and not have to install rails?

The 10k Reese Revolution pin box is a very unique setup that does not have a Goose Box that can fit as a replacement or even another standard in box. To tow a trailer like yours with the Revolution and a B and W Companion installed in a Turnoverball gooseneck hitch you will have to lock out the Revolution so that it essentially gets turned into a standard pin box and then you could use a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter like the part # CAB-C5G which will attach to the king pin of the Revolution.
I attached a picture that has where the lock out bolts install highlighted.
