Hey Matthew, thanks for reaching out! What you're going to need is the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box #GY45GR. I confirmed with my contact at Lippert that you have their Rhino pin box so this will be an exact matchup…
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 Matt, congrats on the new 5th wheel trailer. Do you know what pin box is on the Brinkley Z3100 you're buying? There's quite a few different bolt patterns and there's no database that shows me what pin box is on a trailer. The Gen-Y…
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…
