Hey Brant, thanks for the information. I just heard back from Lippert and your Keystone Montana has a 1116 bolt pattern. You'll need the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY48FR. The included filler shims insert between the pin box and your trailer's wings for an easy installation.

You will also need the Safety Chain with 2 Hooks for Gen-Y 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY49GR as the pin box does not included the required safety chains.

What kind of truck do you use to pull your Keystone?

I have a Ford F250 2020 with the fifth wheel prep package.

@BrantK Thanks for the information! Is that a short or a long bed. The Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY48FR won't do anything to help with clearance.

@JerredH I have a shortbed but I’m planning on using the gen-y 5” offset gooseneck hitch. Good option?

@BrantK That is exactly where I was headed! The Gen-Y Hitch Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Ford OEM Puck Systems - 5" Offset item # GY43XR is indeed what you'll want to get some extra turning clearance.

Hey George. The Power Mountain Tallboy Off-Road Bottle Jack item #PM34FR is only rated for 6-tons but it's not like you're raising up the entire motorhome. Most of the weight is going to be on the back though and since it is a dually, I…

Generally I would say that there isn't a reason to go to a higher capacity than needed, but as the price difference between the 16k Reese Goose Box 20k Reese Goose Box #RP85FR is so little, there isn't really a reason to not go for the more…

Hey Scott, the correct Reese Goose Box for a Lippert 1116 pin box is the part #RP94716-61301 which does happen to also fit the 1716 since like you noticed they are very close in design and bolt pattern. Not a lot of people know their pin box model so…

Thanks for the pictures of your pin box! Your Fleetwood Montana High Country uses the Lippert 1116 pin box with a 19000lb rating, so for a gooseneck pin box I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert…

Answer 6

The LCI 719506 pin box comes back to an 1116 bolt pattern so you would need the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter #RP94716-61301. The 719506 comes back as a 19,000lb capacity and the #RP94716-61301 has a 20,000lb…

That’s a great question, Alvin. Even though your fifth wheel won’t come close to 12 tons total, the Tallboy #PM94FR gives you a generous safety margin and smoother control when you’re lowering heavy loads. The oversized 9-7/16 inch base plate spreads…

Gerald, the 12-ton Tallboy #PM94FR weighs about 37 lbs all-in, including the base plate, extensions, and carry bag. It’s a little heavy, but that’s the tradeoff for stability and steel construction - the 9-1/2 inch base plate and solid risers are…

Yes, it is true that most types of 5th wheel to gooseneck adapters will cause stresses on the trailer's frame and in some instances may actually void the warranty on the trailer frame. However, there is one type of 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter…
