Is There a Reese GooseBox Available for To Replace a Fabex Pin Box
Question:
Hello, I have purchased a 2015 Jayco Eagle 345bhts. The pin box is a Reese revolution and appears to be factory installed. I would like to replace this with a Reese Goosebox. The wingsinch on the trailer are very short. They only protrude out the bottom of the trailer ~2inch and have only one row of 3 bolts per side where the current pin box attaches. Please see pictures attached. I have confirmed that the current box measures 12inch wide, but the wings dont seem to look like those detailed in your drawings to identify which type. Is there a model# of goosebox and/or adapters that can be used for this application?

I have a solution for you, but it's tough for me to match up your pin box without exact dimensions. It looks like you might have a Fabex pin box, which there is not a Reese Goosebox available. Instead you can use the Convert-A-Ball 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G which will allow you to use your existing pinbox with your gooseneck hitch in the same manner. This would be a much more cost effective solution and because the Covert-A-Ball is cushioned, you're not sacrificing any ride quality when towing.
I've linked a review video we did on the Convert-A-Ball for you to have a look at, as well.
