On the gvwr this is my opinion. Its a number game they used to play with the landmark I think. You would have 7k lb axles but you would add the pin weight and that would give you the higher rating. The trailer is rates higher cause the weight isn't on the axles. Make sense? This would only...

I didn't see you. We just got to new braunsfels from Magnolia. Your wheels look like mine and they are 110 psi wheels. Would itbe cheaper to just get some 614s on stock wheels instead of getting 5 wheels and tires? We love these and haven't had any problems. Brett

our 3010 might weight a tad over 16k on occasion ;) and we run the goodyear g614s. they are pricy, but we have not had a single issue with them in about 8k miles! sometimes its worth it to get the best! brett

On your factory trailer hitch,there's two holes that's where I ran my airlines too. Iirc, dropping the tire helps. All in all, not a bad job brett

How did you know you had to drill the goosebox? Was it in the instructions or did you see it wouldn't work and drilled? I have a toolbox that goes in the rear of my bed right behind the tailgate. It has a cut out that allows the GN to clear. Brett

Got it figured out. Breakaway was never wired in. Yellow wire was supposed to be capped. All is well Thanks brett

I had that pulled up in another window but somehow missed the bottom where it says its for the breakaway box. I never tested it, I wonder if its really not hooked up. Time to check it brett

I have now had the goosebox (goose box) for about 8 months and can offer up my thoughts since I've seen two posts asking about them on the first three pages of the forum. Install was a nightmare. After triple checking my original pin box I ordered it. It would not match up to the bolt holes on...

Does anyone know what the orange wire with black stripe goes to? My j-box got into my toolbox and I'm worried one wire was pulled loose from the wire nut. All nuts have at least two wires in them except one. It's a light yellow color and they the orange. Orange doesn't look like its been in a...

yall make me jealous! i wish i had been able to get the ford over the dodge. i made a 100 mile run leaving out of here at 4am. all highway with the cruise set of 65 and the best i got was 15mpg and the seats are uncomfortable brett

Can you believe it's actually here!! If we could've met up at the spring rally, I would've helped you get it installed! Brett

I just called rayford and cancelled our reservations. We are instead heading up north of Sam Rayburn lake tomorrow for a funeral. We had the camper ready to roll and everything. Y'all have a great time and we might try to stop in and say hi. Brett

to bad your not looking for a 3010, i think i might be putting it up on the market before to long brett

Just got word that they finally got the FW tank in but still have to do the underbelly and decals. I can spend $50 in diesel to go get it and another $50 to take it back plus the campground fees. Having a hard time deciding if it's worth it. There is no excuse its taken 7 weeks. In Texas after...

I was hoping to check this out in spring this weekend! I hope it comes in and you love it. We're crossing out fingers our trailer will be ready still. Dropped it off feb 27 and it's still not ready! Brett

im glad yall are getting such good deals! these things are awesome and we love ours. however, i would love it more if i had been able to pay almost $200 less than i did! great find and i recommend these to anyone! brett

thats what i thought too! i called heartland to confirm my pin box (1621HD), pulled off the original (sticker says 1621HD) and asked another member here with the same trailer before ordering. I weighted our rig also to make sure we were within the limits. In theory, the goosebox would be great...

I have the goosebox by Reese. I have had nothing but problems. I had to drill two new holes thru it to get it to mount up when it was supposed to be bolt on. On the maiden voyage, we had an airbag failure that diminished the trailer/truck bed clearance. I didn't know it and when backing in to a...

this has been a mess. wouldnt it be nice if they would just be upfront and honest with you. i would much rather them tell me they started selling the system before it was ready but id get one of the first ones instead of the back and forth brett

I'm wondering if some of the issues with the fuel system being relayed to the urea tanks fill port. I'd be suprised if urea is accidentally being introduced into the wrong filler neck. My new dodge is hanging around 10.4 mpg's towing Brett

I hope we're going to be able to make it! The trailers been at Ron hoovers for about a month now and they are still sounding like its going to be a few more weeks. Having to get another FW tank. Hopefully I'll know more tomorrow. Brett

The problem with mine was severe power loss. It ended up being dodges fault. When they flashed the computer due to the o2 sensors and CEL something was wrong with the programming. I asked them to reflash the computer just for kicks 2 weeks before my new truck was due and it cured the problem. I...

It's a BOY! I'm very excited but have decided to put the cyclone and rhino up for sale after the spring rally. I don't think we're going to be up for camping for the next 18 months and would hate for it to sit. When he gets 3-4 I'll buy a bigger trailer and take him across the country! Brett

i think with some touch up paint and maybe a new bed cap cover id be good to go. at a minimum a little paint so it wont rust. i had to get the nose in the ditch a little and with the companion it was never a problem but since the trailer wasnt riding at the right height, it made a little...

Well Duane gets to tell me "I told you so"! I weighed the trailer and truck twice and the weights were spot on. I was less than 16k gross trailer and ~2600-2700 on pin weight. Total was right at 25k, but with the new truck, ill be a little heavier since i have more fuel. I ordered the Reese...

While not the best pics, itll give you an idea of how much space there is. In the drivers side, i have a 1 gallon bottle of stihl bar oil, 1 gallon can of pre-mix gas, 1 wedge, and field saw sharpening kit, 3 25" chains and a MS361 Saw. I have to keep the 25" bar on the side of the box, but it...

Oh yeah...are we any closer to a landmark with a garage? 12' would work Brett

I'd much rather have the bed in the cap of the trailer and have the closet in the slide. We really miss nightstands and it is a royal pain to make the bed. This is a deal breaker for us now that we have experienced this. Brett

I hope I built up enough suspense. http://www.uniquetruckaccessories.com/toolboxes.html#rv I really like my box so far and if the rv one had the drawer, I'd probably go that route. These are easy to mount if you don't mind drilling and are handy to get things into and out of. Ive almost got...

here is the link to the manufacturer. they have one specifically for guys with 5vrs. they are a little smaller and dont have the drawer (which is one of my favorite features) but sit quite a bit lower. im going to work on mine tomorrow and get it set-up as much as possible and try to snap some...

We bought in Indiana, live in Texas. Had the dealer roll the Texas sales tax into the purchase. Dealer cut us a check and when we got home and registered it, everything was paid for! Brett

thats going to be a nice set-up. are yall going to come to spring in april? brett

thanks to all for the kind words. duane--im going to run across the scales once more when the trailer is loaded for a trip. if i am still at 15-15.5k or less, im going to switch to the goose box. if its any higher, i will keep the pin box i have. i dont have any room in the bed now with the...

Thats part of the problem. I'm going to have to trim the plastic pin box cover so it doesn't catch. Besides that it should be good. I'm going to do a bunch of tests at home before we hit the road to make sure I'm not going to have clearance issues. Brett

I got the bright aluminum and had it sprayed. If I could do it again, I'd probably get the black powder coat. It was hard to spray and didn't come out as well as I would like, cost $175 but I had them do the inside too. Im going to call the manufacturer and recommend some changes before they...

What are the measurements and I'll check in the am. Brett

http://www.pickupspecialties.com/toolboxes/goose_neck_truck_tailgate_tool_box.html They have the cheapest price I could find. It was about $100 for shipping. So far, I really like the tool box. Brett

15 cents isn't going to get you very far nowadays! Thanks everyone! Ray--I hope this truck is better than the 11 too! So far it's been pretty good. Getting the gn installed now, so I'll get some pics of it hooked to the trailer soon! Brett

My new truck came in on thurs. of last week. I was finally able to go get it on Sat. Since then, I have been getting it set up the way I want it. First was the 91 gallon RDS transfer tank with the 13 gpm transfer pump. I took it to TOFF Beliners in Spring TX to be sprayed. Around Jan 15, I...

i think it was around 3-4 hrs. it was a pretty good load on the genny though since its only an 800w. i initally bought it to be a back up to run a small battery charger in case we ran the house batteries down so much we cant get the genny to start. after using it, i love it. i wouldnt use it in...
