Print August 16, 2011 by RV Business Leave a Comment
Lippert Components Inc., a subsidiary of Drew Industries Inc. and a leading supplier of components for the RV industry, announced today (Aug. 16) that it has been designated the exclusive supplier of Cequent Performance Products’ innovative new patent pending Reese “Goose Box” adaptor for gooseneck hitches.
“The ‘Goose Box’ is a great solution for fifth-wheel RV users who prefer to use gooseneck hitches,” Jason Lippert, CEO of Goshen Ind.-based Lippert Components, said in a press release. “We are very pleased with the results of the thorough testing of the Goose Box, which demonstrates that it is compatible with our RV frame. As a result, the proper installation of a Goose Box pin box will be acceptable under our RV frame warranty.”
The company said that the airbag technology used in the “Goose Box” reduces the stress transferred to the RV frame. The combination of the airbag, dual shocks and rubber bumpers used in the “Goose Box” provides multi-directional shock absorption for a smoother driving experience that RV enthusiasts will greatly appreciate.

Goose Box information. It looks like it is well made with the Dual Shocks and the Air Bag system. Looking at the Install information it looks like it would not put stress on the frame like a regular gooseneck adapter would.

One good thing to say about it, is that it is not an adapter to be attached to a standard 5th wheel hitch. Looks like it's been designed from the ground up to take the stress that all of our king pin boxes take. The shock absorbers and air bag have to help.
If someone on here gets one, post your expereince. Won't be me though.

Looks like it is very well built. I would have gotten it before I put the B&W companion in. Much better design than the gooseneck adapter that I used on my Cat.

I have to admit I don't know much about it. Heard a bit about it, but nothing more to add. I'll ask our Lippert rep some questions about it and see what she says!

Very interesting and it seems like a good alternative.
