So...we converted out GD 367BHS to a Goosebox before it left the dealer. GD honors their frame warranty with the Reece...and I think most OEM's do.
It's an air bag hitch and I haven't found the right pressure setting yet. Lots of chucking forward and rear on rough highways. On smooth surfaces it tows like glass.....but what doesn't? The pivot pin comes dry from the factory which is a design flaw to me. I might make a greasable pin for it. Also will most likely drill and tap a pressure gauge into the inflation block and replace that gay ass valve they use on it with a rigid valve.
I've considered selling it and buying a Gen-Y just for the fact that the Gen-Y is torsion and doesn't need the pressure checked before each tow. Zero maintenance and it has a lifetime warranty. You must get your actual loaded tongue weight and buy the correct hitch for that range though. They are massive, and heavy, and look silly under the trailer....but everything I own looks silly and I don't care if it does as long as it works for me.
I would like to find a Companion and toss in my truck and put my king pin box back on and compare the towing experience for a trip just to see if they are better. My biggest concern and reason to convert to a ball was that I swap trailers like some swap underwear. I don't want to have to get a lift to remove a heavy ass companion setup out of my truck everytime I get home with the RV and need to haul cattle or equipment the next day with the same truck.
The Anderson seems to be popular and the RV dealer pushed me towards that as hard as he could. I see how it takes all the movement out and is probably a great setup. It is the cheapest option, however, you STILL have to remove the riser out of the truck if you want to use your ball and that takes tools and time. They are light though. The guy said "it only takes like 5 mintues." I told him that 5 minutes in 100F+ or 25F is 5 minutes that I don't want to use.
Air seems great on paper. Adjustable. Soft. Etc. But with that comes movement, pressure checks, and maintenance. I've even though about putting an extra Tire Linc sensor on the bag so I can check the pressure with my One Connect App like I do the tires on the RV.
In conclusion, I think the best thing would be for every truck trailer combo to try all the hitches and see which one works for that particular setup because they are all going to be different. Problem is, that is impossible to do.
I started a thread here:
Chucking with BW Turn-Over Ball
Also there is a Goosebox Owners Group on Facebook I'd suggest you join if you go that route. Lots of info on there.
