Hello Lukas. The Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pinbox # SHK23MR is designed to replace the Lippert 1621, 0719 or Rhino Box pin boxes. So, it will fit you camper as long as you have one of the pin box models I mentioned.

As far as turning clearance, you can use the following formula to determine your clearance:

(A + B) - C = Clearance
A = Distance from the fifth wheel jaw center (or gooseneck ball) to the truck cab
B = Offset used (slider clearance or Sidewinder offset)
C = Width of the nose of the trailer divided by 2

Hey Lukas, how did things work out with the Shocker 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pinbox on your camper and 6.5-foot truck box? Did the clearance formula give you the space you needed for turns? Your update could make it easier for others working with a similar setup.
