Are Spacers Needed with Installing Gen-Y Nomad Gooseneck Adapter in Place of Lippert 1716

Question:

For the Lippert 1716 does the Nomad need the spacer plates like the Executive does?

Hey Shayne, yes the Gen-Y Hitch Nomad 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY57ND that you referenced would need the included spacers to install in place of a Lippert 1716 pin box as that pin box is 1/2 inch wider. What camper do you have? At this time the spacers need to be ordered separately with # GY76FR.

2014 Sandpiper 365 SAQ. So the spacer plates are included and do not need to be purchased separately correct?

NO! The spacers ARE NOT included. That’s what the sales team told me too. Now I have to order spacers for $53 more. Incredible

@ChuckR this is a mistake on our part. We are in process of getting the spacer scenario straightened out as based on the fit of the pin boxes that are listed it should have to include the spacers and not require them separately. You shouldn't have had to order the # GY76FR separately based on our listing but we will get it all cleaned up.
