Hey Paul, thanks for reaching out. The MORryde GooseTech 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box is designed to match the height and length profile of the original pin box it replaces, so the overall dimension from the top of the pin box housing down to the gooseneck connection point will line up very closely with your factory setup. For example, the # MR24MV you were looking at is a direct replacement for the Lippert Rhino pin box, so its mounting height and coupler drop will mirror that same Rhino profile.

We just need to pinpoint exactly which pin box is on your camper currently. There should be a sticker on it with the serial number and model number or a four-digit Lippert number. Or if it is the Lippert Rhino I mentioned above, that will usually be pretty clear from just looking at the decal. Get me that info from your current pin box and I am happy to look into it and make sure you get the right GooseTech.
