Question:
My 2023 Jayco Eagle HT has the Lippert Rhino pin box, and I’m trying to get rid of my big 5th wheel hitch. Will the Gen-Y Nomad fit the Rhino, or do I need the other version?

Travis, you’re in luck - if your Eagle HT really does have the Lippert Rhino pin box, then the correct match is the Gen-Y Nomad # GY37ND, which is the one Gen-Y builds specifically around the Rhino bolt pattern. That version bolts straight on using your existing trailer's bolt holes, with Gen-Y requiring a minimum of five Grade-8 bolts per side torqued to 160 ft-lbs during installation. Most people use the existing factory hardware for easier installation; this is allowed and is not an issue.
If your Jayco had a 1621/1116/1716 pattern instead, you’d use the # GY57ND, but Eagle HTs are one of the few lines that often ship with the Rhino like you mentioned having. Just check the tag to be extra sure; don't want to have to return this thing!
Once you switch to the gooseneck setup, don’t forget the # GY49GR safety chains since you’re converting to a gooseneck connection.
