Is There a Reese Goose Box for the Fabex 665 on a Cardinal 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
Reese does not make a Goosebox that will fit my Cardinal 5th wheel which has a FABEX 665 pinbox. Is there a way that I can get measurements of the Reese Goosebox width and bolt hole spacing so I can decide if I want to fabricate an adaptor to make a Goosebox work on my camper?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter part # RP85FR will actually work in place of a Fabex 665 Pin Box. The Lippert 1621 and Fabex 665 are almost identical so there will be no issue using this pin box on your trailer. The only thing you may have to do is enlarge the existing mounting holes on the trailer from 1/2" to 5/8" but that is all.
