Question:
Im picking up a 2025 Keystone Cougar 29 rks this week and need a hitch. I have a cw 7 foot flatbed with a b and w gooseneck ball in a 15 x 15 recessed box. Will the goosebox work with a recessed ball. If not, will a 4 inch offset pick it up high enough to work?

Congrats on the new trailer! You'll be good! We've previously confirmed through Reese that the Reese Goose Box item # RP94716-61301 works great with the recessed gooseneck ball on a CM flatbed so long as you have a 14" x 15" recessed area. Which is what you have and some.
An offset gooseneck hitch ball like item # BWGNXA4085 will be absolutely no help with clearance in a recessed well.

Hey, how did the Reese Goose Box end up working with your recessed gooseneck ball on the flatbed? It sounds like your setup matched the clearance Reese confirmed. Sharing how it turned out could help others with a similar bed design.
