Availability of Reese Goosebox Compatible with Fabex 520 Fifth Wheel Pin Box
Question:
Can you replace a Fabex 520 with a Reese Goose box?
asked by: Jim
Expert Reply:
I'm sorry to say that Reese doesn't make a Goosebox that's compatible with your existing pin box. If you're wanting to pull a fifth wheel trailer using a truck that's already equipped with a gooseneck hitch, there are plenty of options. If your gooseneck hitch is a B&W brand Turnover Ball, I'd recommend the # BWRVK3500 Companion for long bed trucks or the sliding version, part # BWRVK3400 for a short bed Ford Super Duty.
The Demco Recon # DM8550045 might also be a good alternative. There are other adpaters available, which I'll link, but keep in mind that using one of those could have implications with your fifth wheel's frame warranty if it's still covered by one.
