Can I Use the 20k Reese Goose Box RP85FR on a 13k Trailer?
Question:
Would you recommend getting the 20k Gen 3 since they done make a 16k Gen 3? We have a 13k Fifth Wheel but want the best ride.

Expert Reply:
Yes, I would. The additionally capacity of the Reese Goose Box item # RP85FR won't affect the comfort when mounted on your 13,000 lbs 5th wheel trailer.
The Reese Goose Box item # RP85FR fits the following pin boxes:
Fabex 600
Lippert 0719
Lippert 1621
Lippert 1716
Lippert Rhino
You will also need the Tow Ready Safety Chain Kit with Clevis Hooks item # RP49151. None of the gooseboxes come with the required safety chains.
