Can The Reese Goosebox RP85FR Replace My Current Lippert Pin Box?

Question:
Can I use the Reese gooseneck to replace my current Lippert pin box description attached? and if so, is there a particular Reese part number I should order to gen the gen 3 version? I can use a 16k but I would like the gen 3. Does that only come in 20k? Also what spacers if any would I need. What part number? Attached is the current Lippert pin box description.

Hello Biron, thanks for reaching out, and thanks for including that picture. I had my contact at Lippert run your serial number and I found your pin box is the Lippert Rhino bolt pattern and 24K weight capacity.
So the Reese # RP85FR will be correct to replace your pin box, as long as the 20K weight capacity is sufficient for your camper. There is not a 16K version available.
Do you know the GVWR of your camper? As long as it does not exceed 20,000 lbs the Reese # RP85FR will work great for you. No additional spacers will be needed.

Hey Biron, did you find out the GVWR of your camper to see if the Reese Goose Box with a 20K capacity is a good fit for you? I'm asking to make sure we can help others with similar needs.
