You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
Hey Kenneth, welcome back. Out of those two options a Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box like item #GY38FR is going to be a better replacement option than the Shocker item #SHK23MR. It's got way less moving parts and the…
Yes, it does Ray. The Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck & Demco Lock Coupler item #SHK89YR has 3" of offset compared to a standard gooseneck pin box like item #GY45GR. This pin box also has a built-in air spring and bump stops that absorb road…
Hey Rick. We have the upgraded model with the air bag that fits a Lippert 1621HD bolt pattern. It's the Shocker Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Coupler Kit w/ Demco eZ-Latch for Lippert and Rhino Box - 24K item #SHK99YR. Almost an identical setup to…
I spoke with my contact at Trailair and from your serial number we were able to determine that your trailer came with a 1621 HD pin box which is a long pin box style. I was unable to obtain the exact part number for your Trailair pin box but from the…

Yes, the Reese Goose Box #RP94716-61301 is the correct Goose Box for the Lippert 1116 pin box. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.
Dan, this is a good thing to clarify before you make the switch. The Nomad is a static, non-cushioned pin box, so it won’t soften the ride the way a shock-absorbing or torsion-style upgrade would. You’re choosing the Nomad for simplicity, bed space,…
Hey Rick. There's no database that shows what parts are on your 2013 Sunnybrook Raven. So in order to recommend the correct CRE3000 and shackle bolt kit, I am going to need you to take some measurements for me. The shackle kit ones pretty simple…
Hey Bill, Assuming it is the 1621 pin box, which is the most common, you are going to want the MORryde GooseTech #MR97MV. This pin box replacement is designed to be the same hitch height as what it replaces. Since I don't have a 1621 pin box in…
Hello Joe, thanks for reaching out. The Demco #DM8550046 you mentioned is for a flatbed truck with a recessed gooseneck ball so this would not work for your setup. Instead what you will want is the following: - Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel…
Upgrade Your Hitch with a Reliable Inner Tube Replacement
For those looking to replace the inner tube of their 5th wheel gooseneck adapter, this option ensures a snug fit and robust performance. Ideal for enthusiasts who demand precision and reliability, even when dealing with used trailers or different hitch brands.
Replacing the inner tube can solve fitment issues and enhance the adapter's compatibility with various hitch brands. It's a great choice for those with used trailers or non-standard hitches, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
Some adapters may not fit perfectly due to slight variations in tube roundness or trailer brand differences. Adjustments like machining the tube can resolve these issues, ensuring a perfect fit and smooth operation.
Replacing the inner tube can impact the trailer's height, potentially making the front too high. It's crucial to ensure the adapter's design aligns with your trailer's setup to avoid issues with ramps or balance.
These adapters are generally well-constructed, offering strength and durability. However, it's important to check for any manufacturing variances, like tube roundness, to ensure optimal performance and fit.
Compatibility can vary between hitch brands. It's important to verify the adapter's specifications and be prepared for potential adjustments to ensure a seamless fit and reliable towing experience.
