The design of the Reese Goose Boxes like # RP85FR prohibits the use of locks designed for standard gooseneck couplers. They cannot grab onto the coupler like they are supposed to.

To secure the trailer a wheel lock such as # WI490 or # RA-25 or something similar is recommended instead. I have linked some videos on these locks for you. These lock the wheels of the trailer instead which is a very effective theft deterrent.

Hi Travis; what you linked was a rear step. I don't have a way to know if the #75549 (for standard bumper) or #75601 (for step bumper) will fit with that FVCO step. The step looks like it fits a standard bumper so I suppose it is possible, but…

Hey Joe, you don't have to also install a U-channel when installing the Van Windows Direct Solid Fixed Glass part #VW56VR. If you check out the attached install instructions it's not one of the needed components for either install style.
