Expert Answers about Fifth Wheel King Pin


  • Where Are The Lubrication Points On A Curt Q25 And R24 Roller Base And How Often Should You Lube Up
  • Hi Joe, The Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16566 and R24 roller base have multiple grease points, which I've attached diagrams of below. It's recommended to use a white lithium grease # L11354 every 1000 miles to keep everything running smoothly without attracting dirt and debris that could cause a bind up. If you'd prefer to have a clean hitch head you can skip greasing the skid plate and stick a lube plate # 16721 on the king pin of your pin box.

  • Can I Tow A Fifth Wheel With A 2020 Ram 2500 With Ram Boxes?
  • Hello Rhys, I can definitely help with this. First, I will start by saying that trucks with the Rambox really are not ideal for towing a 5th wheel camper. It can be done, however I cannot recommend using the Turnoverball, offset ball and goosebox combination that you mentioned. The issue with Ram Box is that it limits the ability of the pin box to rotate in the truck bed. This will drastically decrease your turning clearance and the goosebox would not clear the Ram box on turns. The only...

  • Do I Need to Upgrade to a Higher Capacity 5th Wheel Hitch?
  • Yes, I think it would not only be smart but safer for you to upgrade your 5th wheel hitch. It is recommend to have a 5th wheel hitch that is a minimum of 20% over your trailer's gross weight. 20% of 19,000 lbs is 3,800 lbs so you will want a hitch with at least a 22,800 lbs capacity. The closest hitch to 22,800 lbs that mounts on 5th wheel rails is the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # C16245. The Q24 will provide you with a 24,000 lbs towing capacity and a 6,000 lbs vertical load...

  • Can I Use A Curt A20 With A Reese Sidewinder On A Ram Truck With The Rambox
  • Hey Jay. It sounds like you are on the right track here because a sidewinder pin box will be your only option for pulling your 5th wheel since you have a short bed truck with the Rambox. That said, you are right that the Reese Sidewinder cannot be used with the Curt A20 5th wheel hitches. So, you would either need to use a different hitch like a B&W # BWRVK3255 or find a different compatible sidewinder. Using a B&W hitch is what I recommend since the Reese sidewinder is the only aftermarket...

  • Replacement Fabex 665 Pin Box Recommendation
  • Hey Shyanne, thanks for reaching out! To replace your Fabex 665 pin box you're going to need the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret # RP34FR. This is naturally designed to rotate at the turret and is used for short bed pickups for better clearance, but if you just need it to function as a standard pin box then there are lockout bolts at the back of the pin box that keep it from rotating. We have some other options from Gen-Y but those have a shorter profile than...

  • Upgrading Pin Box On A 2024 Open Range Roamer 364BHS Fifth Wheel
  • Hey Camilo, I can definitely point you in the right direction of an upgraded pin box for your 2024 Open Range Roamer 364BHS Fifth Wheel. The first thing we will need to know if the size or pin box number of the current pin box. This is not something that RV manufacturers list online, so the best way to determine this is by taking a look at the sticker on your pin box. Some pin boxes will show a part number or size number we can use. You can always email me a picture of the sticker and I...

  • Air Ride Pin Box For A 2015 CrossRoads Cruiser Aire 28RK
  • Hey Rick, I can definitely point you in the right direction. The main factor to consider when replacing a pin box, is the size or pin box number of the current pin box. We do not have a way to look up a model of camper to know what size pin box it was equipped with from the factory, and there are a few ways to determine this. The best way is to find the sticker or tag on the current pin box. It should show a brand, model number, serial number ect. Most of the time we can use that info...

  • Replacement Gooseneck Pin Box For A 2021 Genesis Supreme 37GSXL Toy Hauler
  • Hi Dustin, To find the correct replacement pin box we'll first need to determine your trailer's bolt pattern. Everything I can see shows a Lippert Rhino bolt pattern but it wouldn't hurt to double check. If you can send me some pictures of the pin box and look for a white sticker on it that lists the serial number, RPO number, and LCI Item Number I'll be able to look it up. Gen-Y's torsion gooseneck pin boxes are great improvements over the standard couplers but an air ride coupler...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2022 Ram 3500 to Reduce Sag Towing a 5TH Wheel
  • As long as your 2022 Ram 3500 doesn't have the factory air suspension I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88231. Since these are adjustable with the air pressure you can better dial in your ride height. They also have the internal jounce spring unlike other air bags which help to reduce bouncing which is a common problem when using air bags to haul heavy loads. The Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000 pairs great with these since it can monitor...
