In order to replace your Trailair Pin Box Model 1116, I recommend the Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box Model 1116 part # LC155943. The Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box Model 1621 part # LC369535 will not work. The Trailair Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box is the same as the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box save for the pivoting head but there is not a Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box offered for a Model 1116.

@James Hey James, The Lippert Turning Point Pin Boxes are a unique bolt pattern that only matches up to the Lippert Turning points. I spoke to Lippert and there is not a replacement pin box that works with that unit due to its unique welding and bolt patter. There is 1 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter pin box available, but there is not a replacement air bag option out there.

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.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
