Question:

Do you have a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter compatible with a air ride king pin hitch?

Because of the movement allowed by the air ride pin box, you should not use an air ride pin box with a gooseneck-to-5th-wheel adapter. If you're wanting an air ride option that would allow you to use a gooseneck hitch, a Reese Goose Box would work well assuming you have the correct OEM pin box. The Goose Box would replace your existing pin box, allowing you to tow a 5th wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch while still enjoying the comfort of air ride.

We offer two Goose Box models:

• # RP94716-61301. 20K capacity, will replace Lippert 0115, 1116 and 1716 OEM pin boxes.

• # RP85FR. 20K capacity, will replace Lippert 1621, 1621HD, and 0719 pin boxes.

If you have a different OEM pin box, I'd be happy to check into a solution if you could reply with the manufacturer and model of the current pin box.
