Thanks so much for the photos and measurements, and we do have an excellent upgrade option for your Demco Glide Ride and it looks like you had a Lippert 1716 pin box, so you will need an upgrade that is designed as a replacement for the 1716. The cushioned pin box that will work as a replacement is the MORryde Cushioned 5th Wheel Pin Box for 14K to 18K Trailers w/ Lippert 1716 # MR97VR.

For the most relaxed towing experience there isn't a better upgrade for your # MR97VR.
