Hey Bob, thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you are looking into a gooseneck pin box or "goosebox" as we call it. We have several options for that like the B&W, Gen-Y, Curt and MORryde.
If you are looking to upgrade from a standard pin box to a gooseneck, I definitely recommend going with a cushioned goosebox. For that my recommendation is one of the Gen-Y gooseboxes like part # GY38FR. They do a great job absorbing road shock and smoothing out the ride, plus they are super durable.
The # GY38FR I mentioned replaces the Lippert 1621 pin box, so we'll need to determine exactly which pin box you have now. If you can send me the info from your pin box sticker, and tell me the year, make, model and floorplan of your RV, I can make sure you get the right one.
If you have any other questions about these, just let me know. You know where to find me and I'm happy to help.
