Question:

Hi. We have a 2021 f-350 diesel short bed and a forest river nitro with a lippert rhino pin box. Our hitch is a Curtis a16. Will the sidewinder work for us?

Unfortunately, the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP77FR you reference is not compatible with Lippert Rhinos.

Can you tell me which sidewinder we would need to replace the Rhino box we have a 2021 Chevy Silverado short box with the m5 Reese hitch

@Hope-billB The new Rhino Box from Lippert currently has no replacements so you won't be able to swap out this pin box with a Sidewinder. Because of this, you'll have to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch with your 2021 Chevy Silverado short bed.
