Great question! The B&W 5th Wheel Setup with Replacement Gooseneck Pin Box is designed to replace a specific type of fifth wheel pin box, so the key is confirming which pin box your 2012 Heartland North Trail 27 has before ordering.

Your camper may have come with either a Lippert LCI 1621 or a Fabex 663 pin box. If you have the Lippert 1621 or 1621HD, you can use the B&W 5th Wheel Setup with Replacement Gooseneck Pin Box, part # BW75RV for the 2016 Ford F-250. This setup has a 25,000 lb gross trailer weight capacity and a 4,500 lb pin weight capacity. It includes the gooseneck ball for the Ford, so if you already have a compatible ball, you can save a little money with part # BW83RV instead. This is the part number for just the pin box.

Before ordering, I'd double check the label on your existing pin box to confirm the model. You can usually find a sticker or stamped identification plate on the side. If the label is missing, check out the help article I linked on how to identify your pin box.

Can you check the label on your current pin box and see whether it says Lippert 1621 or Fabex 663?
