Question:

Will this hitch work with a 2025 Riverstone 39RKFB. 21,000 lb GVWR, approximately 3,800 lbs pin weight. Which part number would be correct for this fifth wheel? Thank you, Jim

Hey Jim! Yes, the B&W Gooseneck Pin Box can be used on your 2025 Riverstone 39RKFB. However, you need to determine the pin box bolt pattern to find the right model. The # BW83RV you were looking at is designed for a Lippert 1621/1621HD bolt pattern (also fits 1116/1716 with shim kit # BW57MV). If you have the Rhino Box you need # BW55RV instead.

If you aren't sure which bolt pattern is on your 5th wheel, feel free to send me a picture of the pin box sticker and I will identify it for you.

Where are you headed with the Riverstone once you upgrade your pin box?

We have a trip planned to Theodore Roosevelt NP, Glacier NP, and Yellowstone NP but not sure I can work in the upgrade before we leave. We will make the change before we head to AZ for the winter.

@JimH awesome, some of my favorite places right there! It would definitely be nice to have the B&W for all the mountain roads out west, but either way you’ll appreciate the smoother ride once you make the switch before heading down to Arizona.

So to be clear, if I want the 4.5k tw model and I have a 1716 bolt pattern I need the 1621 pin box bw83rv along with the bw57mv shim kit?

@CharlieT that is correct. The shim kit # BW57MV acts as an adapter so the B&W Gooseneck Pin Box # BW83RV will fit your 1716 bolt pattern.
