So I received the Goose Box the other day and got it installed. I also got the Gen-Y hitch ball and assembled that. My truck is STILL in the shop
so I haven't done the final torquing yet.
My camper has a 10K GVWR but I chose the Goose Box 20K over the 16K because I initially thought "some's good, more's bettah" and the 20K was on sale for less than the 16K. I also figured I can run less air in the Goose Box bag.
On the negative side I figured out the 20K unit weighs 42 pounds more than the 16K unit.
If I ever get my truck back from the body shop I'll finish setting it up and do some test runs.
BTW, the 20K Goose Box still weighs 113.5 pounds less than my Curt A20 slider for puck system.
