Replacing the Lippert 1621 Pin Box with Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret

Question

Question:

I have a Palomino Puma fifth wheel with a Lippert 1621 Pin box. on the Reese website it shows the Reese sidewinder 68220 will fit both the Lippert 1621 and Lippert 1716. they only have one model listed on there webpage. On your webpage you have a model for the Lippert 1621Item # RP34FR and a model for Lippert 1716 Item # RP77FR With a price difference of almost 600 dollars. So can i use Item # RP77FR for the Lippert 1621?

There is a difference between the Reese Sidewinder, # RP34FR & # RP77FR with rotating turret, mounting and hardware provided, components are the same but these are specificaly designed to replace different pin box options. The Reese Sidewinder, # RP34FR is the correct item for replacement of the Lippert 1621 Pin box.

Yes, this can be adapted to work using the Voyager PWM Filter for Voyager RV Camera Systems, #VGR64VR. But as built, the Furrion Vision S, #FCE48TASL-05 that you linked to will not work on 2016 and newer Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis with PWM…

To fit your Sidewinder arm that you have you would need to replace the turret with the #RP61300 so that it can fit your Lippert 1621 pin box. That would be all that you would need and you would be set.

Answer 4

The Lippert pin box 1621 has a different design and bolt pattern so it requires a different turret than what is on #ST400-5AS16K. If the turret you have uses 4 bolts to mount to the arm, then you can just swap the turret for the right one, #RP61300.…

There are two options for Sidewinders to replace a Lippert 1621 pin box. For a 16k rated Sidewinder we have the part #RP61422. If you need more capacity than that you would want the 19k version which is part #RP34FR. The first option listed above is…

I spoke with my contact at Reece and he confirmed that the Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pins with Rotating Turrets #RP34FR and #RP61412 both come with the Rotating Turret #RP61300. By adding Spacer Kit #RP61301 to #RP34FR you will not end up with the…

Answer 10

The SW16K you referenced is a product that is no longer available. It's the Sidewinder minus the air ride component. The #RP34FR (Reese part number 68220) has a 16K capacity, and would be a direct bolt-on replacement for your existing Lippert…

Answer 11

Hi Jeremy, We don't offer any replacement turrets for Sidewinders like #RP34FR, and I can tell you there aren't any that fit an 11-3/4" wide pin box with bolt holes 7-7/8" apart. There are some that are close, like the Lippert 1621,…

Answer 12

We will have a Sidewinder (same as Reese Revolution) that would work as a replacement for your 10k model. But first we have to determine which pin box you have. Most likely your frame is designed to take a Lippert 1621 pin box as that is what…
