Goosebox Pressure Setting?
I recently did a couple of short (2 hour) trips pulling my 35' Montana 3121RL behind my 2015 F250 SD CCSB. I have a B&W Turnover-ball hitch and a 20K Goosebox. My question is, can anyone tell me how to determine the correct pressure to use in the Goosebox? I set it at 35 PSI when I picked up the trailer (50 PSI is max, I believe), and it seemed to tow very nice. Is there an easy way to determine what the best pressure is? I suspect the answer is, " just keep changing it until you're happy"' or something like that. Hopefully someone has a more scientific answer...
Thanks!

EZ.
And when the sticker wears away, just use center of the little hole.

I've found mine tows best in the 40-45 psi range also. Not bad at 50, however. If it's too much, the pop-off valve will allow the excess to escape. It will also do that while driving if you encounter harsh bumps. I have the 2nd gen GooseBox and I try to keep the bar in the middle-to-lower part of the sight hole.

Thanks for the replies, guys! I'll try setting it in the middle of the window next trip, and see what that pressure is. I think the Goosebox feels very smooth, but I have nothing to compare it to. My buddy has the identical trailer, but is pulling with a slider hitch, and a Silverado 2500 Diesel. I need to ride with him and see what his set up rides like.
