Question:
Can we use the 4 Inch extended gooseneck ball with the offset/extended gooseneck converter? How much offset does the converter afford?

My contact at B&W told me that the Extend a Goose, # BWTEXA4200, and the 4 inch offset ball # BWGNXA4085 can be used together. However, the pivot point of the trailer will still only be 4 inches back from its original position meaning that you will get 4 inches of true offset, not 14.
If your gooseneck trailer is a V-nose then the 4 inches might be enough to safely make tight turns. I have linked a video review of the Extend a Goose for you.
