Can B and W Fifth Wheel Gooseneck Fit 1716 Pin Box

Updated 05/19/2026 | Published 05/17/2026

Question:

I have a 1716 pinbox and I am wondering if the shim kit is available? If so, what part number is it? Also, other manufacturers require a separate purchase of the chains and high grade bolt kit. Does this come with those items? I am also wondering about the warranty, which is also a separate purchase from a competing manufacturer.

Hey Paul, so the shim kit for the B and W Fifth Wheel Gooseneck part # BW73RV is not quite available for us but it should be very soon as we were told end of May early June. The safety chains do come with this kit and the warranty does not cost extra! Since you have a 1716 you will for sure need the shim kit to use this.
