RE: goosebox
What exactly is the buyer wanting you to do about the current hitch?
He has a ball in his truck. Looking at adapter and hitch, quoted $3000-3800. Goosebox looks to be around $1750 and maybe (my guess) $300-400 for install.
Already dropped as low as I will go for fifth-wheel.
Oh!
He's trying to get you to buy him a Reese Goosebox because he doesn't want to spring for a B&W Companion for $1000 or any other solution on his own.
So he's using his own tow vehicles limited ability to pull a 5th wheel and his unwillingness to purchase appropriate equipment as a negotiating point against you.
Ok well after I finished laughing at him, I know what MY response would be, but I'm sure you are a lot nicer of a fellow than I am.

RE: goosebox
Selling my fifth wheel and potential buyer is talking about the goosebox pinbox. Anyone with one or knowledge of the goosebox?

RE: Ever Add A Dehumidifier ??
Check the pan on the roof to be sure no leaves, pine leaves, etc. are not blocking the water from leaving the pan. I check mine occasionally, and if the holes are blocked it can result in water coming into the RV when the fan is on. I also, have a dehumidifier that I only use when my unit is in storage along with a high setting on the A/C. This is basically so you don't have mold growing.
Roger that. Thx

RE: Ever Add A Dehumidifier ??
Oh it's definitely only doing it when it is running.
The rig is brand new fwiw.
Im getting a repair guy to come look at it this week and see if he can figure out whats going on then.
Dont want to wake up with wet feet again.

Ever Add A Dehumidifier ??
One of my two AC's will leak water from the unit itself, onto the master bed, and sometimes the ductwork itself will drip water.
Any recommendations for a plug in dehumidifier perhaps to fix this condition??

Nose High vs Bed Clearance
Had a Reese Goosebox installed today.
Tell me your opinion here.
Am I too high in the front?
Trailer is 44' long, which makes a difference.
Frame bottom to ground in rear: 22.25"
Frame bottom to ground in front: 26"
Bottom of gooseneck to top of truck bed rail: 9"
Think I am GTG or do I need to drop the Reese down a click?

RE: Tires
New tires are cheap insurance.
Blowouts might cause a wreck, or at least damage the vehicle.
Plus now you're on the side of the road and might get killed there.
NONE of that is worth the $800 you'll spend every 6 years.
Peace of mind. Buy new tires.

RE: 40 or 45 ft 5fer, any difference
I went from a 32'TT to a 44' 5er and am managing just fine.
Especially with a dually like what you have, you'll do fine
