Reese Goose Box 5TH Wheel To Gooseneck Adapter For a 2018 Keystone Hideout 308BHDS With 1621 Pin Box
Question:
Hi, I recently purchased a used 2018 Keystone Hideout 308BHDS. I first had a BandW Companion Slider and then switched to a Pullrite Superlite hitch to save weight. However, wiith both hitches I experienced so much chucking I don’t think anyone would want to ride more than 30 minutes in the tow vehicle. So now I am looking at the Goosebox to save bed space, weight, and the added bonus of the airbag. The problem is, the model number on the pin box is worn away and I don’t know what it is. I do have the info from the side of the pin box mounting hardware: S/N: S001232741 LCI Item number: 353966 RPO - 0001038621 Chassis Mfg Date: 11/27/17 See pic for sticker. Could you help me determine which pin box I have and which model Goosebox I need? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
Your 2018 Keystone Hideout 308BHDS has the mounting tabs for a 1621 pin box. The Reese Goose Box # RP85FR is the correct item for you. This 20,000lb pin box is plenty for your 11,700lb GVWR Hideout with its hitch weight of 1,820lbs. The maximum pin box weight rating of the Goose Box is 5,000lbs.
You will also need a Tow Ready Safety Chain Kit # 49150 since you are switching to a ball connection and all ball trailer connections require safety chains.
