Hey Ron. You should be able to but I need to know what bolt pattern your Keystone Cougar pin box has.

I'll need the information on the sticker that's attached to your current pin box. The sticker should say date of manufacture, weight capacity, and have some form of RPO, LCI, or serial number on it. If you could email me a picture of it or carefully put all that information where it says Reply to Jerred H, I can find the right gooseneck pin box for you. Also if yours says Turning Point or Rhino Box on it let me know because those bolt patterns are easy to identify replacements for.

You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them. If you're emailing me a picture go ahead and send it directly to the address you receive this response from.

@Ron You're welcome! Let me know if you have any additional questions! Please note, you will also need the BulletProof Hitches 3/8" Safety Chains item # BPH86RR. Safety chains are required for gooseneck connections and they are not included with the pin boxes. These will attach to that cross looking cutout by the Shocker Hitch logo.

Hello Mark; is this a 2019 Grand Design Reflection? Assuming it is, the lowest listed GVWR is 8,995 lbs on the 220RK. The unloaded weight is 6,695 lbs but that isn't what determines fitment, and you're going to be heavier than that no matter…
