5v'er to gooseneck solution

you know?....I had the 4 way pivot hitch and I really liked it. it does help alleviating a bed strike because when it stops rotating and bottoms out....then the vehicle begins to compress from that action lessoning the chance of a bed strike. with a gooseneck....you must be aware of horizontal rotational movement! or you will incur a bed strike while turning especially during that motion. but its not a big problem at all. as far as safety chains...with the goosebox............there are no safety chains.......by law they are not required. however, I do absolutely use the breakaway. now my whole post is only about the goosebox . I am not familiar with the standard gooseneck setup on an rv , (adapters, I didn't like that set up)but am with stock trailers. my sole reason for going gooseneck was the clean bed, ease of hitching (with my set up) and not having to get up in the bed to remove the heavy!! hitch that I had. so far, the only real drawback that I have witnessed IMO is the need to be aware of articulation and its really pretty easy doing that. there is a long cable with a handle that is in a cradle on the side of the goosebox that allows you to open and close the lock bar on the unit. however, you need only to let the unit down and the spring bar will simply slide over the ball and lock back in place. when you unhook....just pull cable, raise jacks until unit is cleared and drive out. for RV gooseneck applications....I personally feel this unit is the way to go. it is very well designed and extremely heavy duty and if you really look at its design closely....you will see its really no different than a 5th wheel pinbox at the wing set. the only difference is at the hitch point. its still a square box bolted to the wing set and it simply falls down at a sharper angle than the 5th wheel pinbox.
