I'm going to a Jayco dealer about a half an hour away on Saturday to look at one. They have one on stock.

Is it going to shut down the highways? What's stopping you???

Made a quick call up to the dealership, it's the wrong model GooseBox. They have the 16,000 llb rated model. I want to look at the 20,000lb. Still may run up though and take a look.
Can't find a place that has an Anderson hitch close by. Have to wait for the show & tell at the rally.

Been seriously looking at the Anderson and the GooseBox.
They had the goose box hooked to a Jayco Seismic toyhauler.
Pro
-Very simple. Just the goose ball in the bed. That's it.
-No more pull test. Easy Coupler.
-Air dampening system
Con
-I cannot see the goose ball in my bed. Making it difficult to line up. Even with the cargo camera. My tonneau cover blocks the majority of the view.
-Though it doesn't happen often, you cannot tow anyone else's fifth wheel.

Looking to see what the next choices will be. Both of those have my curiosity as well. I still want the air ride capability though. So going to the Anderson would still require a pinbox change.
There doesn't seem to be any bad press yet on the goosebox.
Still need a pull test - ya just never know.
The cons are limited. I couldn't see the hitch when I had my GMC, so I used a portable wireless camera.
The next truck will have the CHMSL camera, so that should eliminate that problem.
Since we started camping, the opportunity to tow someone else's trailer has been zero. Not that I wouldn't want to help, but I wouldn't let that be a show stopper either.
On the other hand, you would be equipped to help someone with a gooseneck hitch.

Yes, there is not much I can find fault with the Goosebox. For that matter, the Anderson gets great reviews. If we did not have the FlexAir pin box, this decision would be a lot easier(Love the FlexAir). The Goosebox would get the nod.
