Expert Answers about 5th Wheel Pin Box


  • Wedge Needed For B&W Patriot 5TH Wheel Hitch Pulling Grand Design 5TH Wheel W/ Turning Point Pin Box
  • Yes, you will need to use the Wedge Block # LC79UD for the Lippert Turning Point pin box on your Grand Design 5th wheel RV camper. This is a universal block that will fit into the funnel on the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3255 and prevent the pin box from pivoting on the king pin. Instead the pivot point will be back where the pin box mounts to the 5th wheel mounting plate. Do be sure remove the lock out bolts on the pin box before driving with the wedge installed.

  • Is There A Way To Tow A 5th Wheel With The Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Hitch?
  • For your 2005 Ford F-350 with the Remov-A-Ball your options will be limited. As far as a 5th wheel hitch being compatible with your current system, that isn't going to be an option as there are none available. What you can do, is use the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-To-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 which will lock overtop of the kingpin on your 5th wheel, and hook-up to your existing gooseneck ball. I should note also, that some manufacturers won't allow this adapter without...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch/Install Kit for Towing 5th Wheel with 2018 Ford F-150 With 5.5 Foot Bed
  • We do have a solution for you, but the 10-12 inches of travel you'd get from a typical slider hitch won't provide the proper clearance between the front of the 5th wheel and the rear of the cab. The solution would be to replace the OEM pin box on the 5th wheel with a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder. The Sidewinder is pin-box specific, because the bolt patterns pin boxes use can vary quite a bit. The Reese Sidewinder relocates the pivot point between the 5th wheel and the hitch...

  • Recommended Solution for 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter
  • It sounds like you're looking to tow a 5th wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch, so I recommend using the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100, which bolts on to your 5th wheel king pin and connects to the gooseneck hitch ball in your truck. If you wanted to go with a complete pin box replacement, you'd need to know the model pin box number that you've got on your trailer but the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel-Gooseneck Pin Box # 325-GH-8045 is...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer with Inverted Pin Box with a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
  • I do have a solution for you, but we typically recommend going with a sliding 5th wheel hitch when towing a 5th wheel trailer with a truck that has a bed shorter than 8 feet. For your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed I recommend installing the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1016 and then using the B&W Turnoverball King Pin Adapter # BWGNXA4000. This adapter allows you to tow your trailer that has an inverted 5th wheel pin box and can easily...

  • I took a look at the: - Ultra-Fab TrailAir Air Ride 5th Wheel King Pin # UF35-946203, which is made by Ultra-Fab and is no longer available from the manufacturer, and it turns out that tis pin box is not compatible with the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter # AM3200, unfortunately as this pin box is not compatible with any type of gooseneck adapter, but I do have another solution. However, the: - Curt Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC158778, which...

  • How to Determine Which MORryde Cushioned Pin Box Fits on 2004 Monaco 5th Wheel
  • We don't have specific information on what pin box is currently on your 2004 Monaco 5th wheel, so you will need to check the spec sticker on the pin box to find the model number. If you can't locate the model number on your existing pin box you will need to take some measurements; I've linked a helpful article that explains how to measure to determine what model pin box you've got and which replacements would work for you.

  • Curt 5th Wheel Rail/Bracket Kit for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 5-3/4 Inch Bed
  • For a 2021 GMC Sierra with the 5-3/4 inch bed, Curt doesn't offer a 5th wheel install bracket/rail kit that's compatible with your truck. This being said, you can use the Reese # RP56015-53 which is a confirmed fit, as long as your truck isn't equipped with the Adaptive Ride Control or the CarbonPro bed. In order to gain the proper clearance between the front of the 5th wheel and the rear of the truck cab, you'll need to use a Sidewinder rotating pin box. The Sidewinder relocates the...

  • Parts Needed To Convert a 1999 US Cargo Enclosed Trailer From 5TH Wheel To Gooseneck Hitch
  • The easiest way to convert a 5th wheel trailer to connect to gooseneck hitch is by using either the Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G or Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset # CAB-C5GX1216. Both of these attach to the king pin and are adjustable from 12"-16" tall. They can be used on trailers up to 20,000lbs with a 4,000lb tongue weight.

  • How to Determine Which Reese Sidewinder Will Fit a 2021 Genesis Supreme 5th Wheel
  • The correct Reese Sidewinder for your 2021 Genesis Supreme 5th Wheel will depend on the model of pinbox that's currently on it; you can find the model of the pin box on the spec sticker that's usually somewhere on the face or side of the unit. Unfortunately, there's not a way for us to tell exactly what pin box is used on a particular coach. The 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret - 16,000 lbs # RP61452 is designed to replace the following pin boxes: Venture...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation with 5-3/4 Foot Bed
  • Yes, you can install a 5th wheel hitch on your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation Edition with a 5-3/4 Foot truck bed, but any 5th wheel trailer you tow must have a pin box with a rotating pin box. You would want to find the pinbox model number on the spec sticker of your trailer in order to determine if there is a pin box with a rotating turret available to use as a replacement. With that said, you could use the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 and installation...

  • Replacement Trailair Flex Air Pin Box for 2021 Keystone Montana 3120RL
  • In order to choose the correct Trailair Flex Air pin box like the # LC328492, or any other pin box for that matter, is by checking the spec sticker on the current pin box for a model number. We don't have a database that tells us what pin box is on specific trailers, so you would need to either find the number on the sticker/plate or you can take some measurements of the bolt patterns to determine which one you've got. I've linked a brief article that explains this process. The Trailair...

  • Truck Bed Clearance Needed for a 5th Wheel Trailer and a 2012 Ford F-150 with a 5-1/2 ft Bed
  • Since your 2012 Ford F-150 has a 5-1/2 ft bed, the first recommendation I have is to replace your Andersen Ultimate Fifth Wheel Connection, # AM3200, with a fifth wheel hitch like the Reese 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch, # RP30047, that you referenced. The Andersen Ultimate Fifth Wheel Connection is not recommended for trucks with beds shorter than 6 ft. My next recommendation is to replace your Lippert 1621 pin box with a Sidewinder pin box like the Reese Sidewinder Pin Box, # RP34FR. This Sidewinder...

  • Is Trailair Air Ride Pin Box Compatible with PullRite SuperGlide 5th Wheel Hitch
  • According to PullRite the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC158777 (for a 1716 Lippert pin box) or # LC369535 (for a 1621 Lippert pin box) will need the PullRite quick connect capture plate 331761 for it to be compatible with your sliding 5th wheel hitch. I'm not sure what the 1721 pin box number is as it isn't a normal pin box number which is why I mentioned the 2 different boxes above. If you actually do have a 1721 let me know and send me a picture of your sticker so I can reach...

  • Recommended Replacement Sidewinder Pin Box for Sunset Trail Reserve 5th Wheel Trailer
  • You certainly may be able to install a Reese Sidewinder replacement 5th wheel pin box on your Sunset Trail Reserve 5th wheel - please note Revolution is the OEM name for the Sidewinder, which is the aftermarket name Reese uses. Sidewinders make sharp turns much easier to execute when using a short-bed truck and as you said they avoid the hassle of getting out of the truck and releasing the slider every single time you need to make a sharp turn. Selection of a Sidewinder pin box is based...

  • Recommended Air Ride Pin Box Upgrade For A Lippert 1621HD And A Demco Hijacker 21K 5th Wheel Hitch

This pin box is designed to replace your 1621HD pin box you currently have, and has an internal air bag that absorbs road shock, and is rated for a maximum capacity of 21,000lbs.

  • Gen-Y Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box for 2021 Forest River Arctic Wolf 3880
  • The answer to your question will depend on which pin box your 2021 Forest River Arctic Wolf 3880 is equipped with. Unfortunately, there's no way for me to determine which pin box your 5th wheel was equipped with without contacting the manufacturer with the VIN, although the information should be listed on the existing pin box. The Gen-Y # GY58GR Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box is a direct replacement for the Lippert 1621 or 1621HD pin boxes. Since these are the most common...

  • How To Set-Up Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel Hitch When Using Rhino Box Pin Box
  • What I think you are asking is, how to set-up the hitch with the Rhino Box as the narrow width of the pin box does not engage the capture plates on your Demco Hijacker 5th Wheel hitch. What you are missing is the Demco Hijacker Autoslide Locking Plate for Lippert Rhino Pin Boxes, # DM76FR. You need to use this locking plated when using a Lippert Rhino pin box with the Demco hitch.
