    Pin box switch

    Our Solitude 310GK arrived at the dealer after a 4 month wait. The agreement was for the dealer to install a Reese Goosebox prior to delivery. Dealer just called to say unit is ready but that GD changed from a Moryde pinbox to a Rhino and the Goosebox will not fit. I am not happy!! Has anyone else experienced this most unpleasant surprise and has anyone found an adapter or some sort of work around ? From the very beginning of my negotiations with the dealer I made it clear I wanted the Goosebox so I would have full use of my truck bed and now this. What can I do short of refusing the unit?

    There are a couple of other very recent threads on this very topic - you can use the search function to find them. If I recall correctly, the Goose Box will not fit, but Gen-Y has one that will.

    I imagine the Andersen Ultimate hitch would also fit and it is minimal effort to regain the use of bed space.

    You are correct. I have the same problem. I went with the Andersen Ultimate. I have called Reese and they are working on a Rhino model. According the the person I talked to it should be available soon. Give them a call to find out.

    This is me just being curious... is the frame flange that the pin box connects to different?

    I would think that would be the same regardless of the pin box installed.
