Without Lipperts full backing, which I did not get, I am reluctant to believe Reese and will therefore stay with a 5th wheel setup.Īs a sidenote, I found that Lippert "may" provide a factory goose neck option on their trailers in the future. To learn more about any of our kingpin hitches for gooseneck couplers, give PopUp Towing Products a call today at (800) 837-2805. Lippert however, seemed much less excited that anyone would mess with the trailer at all. Reese wants to make sales and of course promised someone else would warranty my trailier frame. The adapter makes it super easy to attach your trailer to the hitch even if it’s not perfectly lined up. Then, just attach the adapter to the kingpin on your 5th wheel trailer. Interestingly, a new Gooseneck PINBOX has recently been developed and tested by Lippert per press. The purchasing dealer insisted on putting the gooseneck adaptor a 14' with the Mor/Ryde plate everything is working very well. The response from Lippert was a simple ".we misread your email, it is ok." This lightweight aluminum adapter sits in your truck bed and attaches to the ball of a gooseneck hitch. I purchased a 2011 3150 Montana this summer heard good things about the gooseneck adaptor I have the Mor/Ryde system. This time they sent me a signed letter from somone at lippert claiming warranty was good. Again, Reese claimed no problem and pointed fingers at Lippert for giving false information. So, I coppied each of them on the other e-mail and asked for clarification. Lippert sent me a response saying my trailer ".was designed as a 5th wheel, tested as a 5th wheel and should remain a 5th wheel." The response from Reese said "no problem, we know Lippert will warranty it and definately safe." I found out it is a joint venture between the two and is sold on both websites. I sent e-mails to Reese and to Lippert stating what I had and if the new Goose Box was safe. My trailer manufacture is out of business so no help there. On the trailer, a pin box attaches to the bottom of the bunk and is the counterpart of the tube on a gooseneck coupler.
