Hey Ron. For a 5th wheel trailer that has a Rhino-Box pin box that weighs less than 10,000 lbs you'll want the MORryde GooseTech 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert Rhino item # MR64MV. This one is designed to work with trailer's that weigh less than 11,500 lbs. This pin box will work with your 5th wheel trailer so long as you're replacing a Lippert or Curt Rhino-Box.

You will also need the Safety Chain with 2 Hooks item # GY49GR. Safety chains are required for gooseneck connections and they are not included with the pin boxes. These will attach to that cross looking cutout by the MORryde logo.

What make and model 5th wheel trailer do you have and does it have a Rhino pin box?

You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.

Jerred, Thanks for getting back to me. My current one is a Turning Point on a Grand Design Reflection 240RL. I hope that will work. Is there any videos for installation? Ron

@RonE You're welcome and thanks for the additional information. I only have two options that will convert a Turning Point pin box into a gooseneck pin box and MORryde isn't one of them. I have listed them below: Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item # GY48GR - Safety Chains item # GY49GR Shocker Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Coupler Kit w/ Demco eZ-Latch item # SHK29YR - Safety Chains item # RP49151 I've attached an installation video we did on a Gen-Y gooseneck pin box below. We have not had a chance to make one for a Shocker Hitch pin box. MORryde currently only has GooseTech pin boxes for the Lippert 1621SHD, Rhino, 1116, and 1716 pin box bolt patterns.

Hey Nick, thanks for reaching out! The MORryde AllTrek 4000 Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers #MR29DR will work as long as you have a 35" wheelbase (center axle to center axle) and it meets the specs in the attached photos for the qualifier.

Hello Lanny, thanks for reaching out. The CRE 3000 is already a pretty good suspension system, but if you want to upgrade, the first thing that comes to mind are the AllTrek 4000 equalizers. They have more rubber than the CRE 3000, 40% more, so you…

Hey Matt, thanks for reaching out! Yes, both the Shocker Hitch #SHK47YR and Gen-Y #GY48GR 5th wheel to gooseneck pin boxes are great quality, and the real difference is just the air bag vs rubber torsion arms. The air bag system is one that I like a…

I can confirm that the Reese Goose Box #RP85FR is the 3rd gen Reese goosebox. The main changes from the 2nd gen are the placement of the inflation valve, and the design of the wings. The 3rd gen wings are slightly smaller than the 1st and 2nd gen,…
