Question:
I have a 2024 Jayco Eagle HT 29DDB I have been looking at upgrading from the Rhino Box on it. Just trying to figure out the sizing on it and what pin boxes will work to replace it. Based of the model number on it cant seem to find the bolt pattern or replacements that will fit. Looks to be a 19k rated pin box. Thanks!

Hello Mike, thanks for reaching out. The Rhino Box actually uses its own unique bolt pattern, so you can use any pin box replacement that replaces the Rhino Box. We offer a few option for this, but what I recommend is the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box # GY78GR. This is made specifically to replace the Lippert Rhino Box. It uses torsion rubber to absorb shock, a lot like the way torsion trailer axles work. The rubber flexes and reduces shucking and improves ride quality.
We also have air ride options like the Curt Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC65VR. This uses an air bag to absorb shock. They do work well but the air bag will require maintenance eventually and the Gen-Y does the same thing with virtually no maintenance over time.
I hope this helps. Leave a reply below on this page and I will get back to you.
