Features to know about

Make Your B&W Adapter Fit Your Trailer

If your trailer has a Lippert 1116 or 1716 pin box bracket, the wider mounting plate spacing leaves extra room around the B&W BW73RV adapter. This shim kit takes up that extra space so the adapter fits the 12-1/2" spacing of your existing mounting plates. That gives you the proper mounting width without having to change the pin box bracket already on your trailer.

Fits Between the Adapter and Mounting Plates

The shims install between the B&W adapter and your trailer's existing pin box mounting plates. They are specifically made for using the BW73RV with Lippert 1116 and 1716 brackets, giving you the spacing needed to get everything lined up for installation.

Specs

  • Application: Lippert 1116 and 1716 pin box mounting brackets
  • Compatible adapter: B&W 5th wheel-to-gooseneck pin box BW73RV
  • Pin box mounting plate spacing: 12-1/2"

  • Will B&W 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box Fit 2020 Vanleigh Beacon 34RLB
    Hey Justin! Based on the pin weight and GVWR of your 2020 Vanleigh Beacon 34RLB you will want to get the 4.5k TW model. There are two different models depending on your bolt pattern.

  • Does B&W 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box Include Safety Chains
    Hey Shawn! Yes, the B&W 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # BW23RV does include safety chains. That is one of the first things we asked them when they came by to show us the new pin box. They also throw in replacement hardware so you're covered if you need it. Gooseneck pin boxes are already pricey, and it can be easy to forget the safety chains, so it is nice that B&W decided to include them. This particular model is designed to fit a Lippert Rhino bolt pattern so make sure that is what...

  • Will B&W Gooseneck Pin Box Work With 2025 Forest River Riverstone Legacy 39RKFB
    Hey Jim! Yes, the B&W Gooseneck Pin Box can be used on your 2025 Riverstone 39RKFB. However, you need to determine the pin box bolt pattern to find the right model.

If you aren't sure which bolt pattern is on your 5th wheel, feel free to send me a picture of the pin box sticker and I will identify it for...

  • B&W Gooseneck Pin Box for 2025 Alliance Avenue 32RLS With 2026 Ram 3500 Dually
    Hey Paul! The correct B&W Gooseneck Pin Box depends on your pin box bolt pattern. If your 2025 Alliance Avenue 32RLS has a Rhino Box you need # BW23RV and if it is a 1621/1621HD # BW73RV. If you aren't sure, please send me a picture of your pin box sticker and I will be able to identify it through Lippert. Both of these are the 3.25k TW models which is the proper rating for your Alliance Avenue. Where are you headed once you upgrade the pin box and get your new truck?
