Sidewinder replacement pin boxes like the Reese # RP61450 are not general-purpose items but are made to install in place of a specific OEM pin box. This particular Reese Sidewinder fits in place of any of three Venture brand pin boxes, either model CJ13515, CJ13517 or CJ20517.
In order to select a compatible Sidewinder for your Jayco Eagle 5th wheel camper's existing pin box you'll need to check its I.D. sticker, usually on the driver's side, to find its brand and part number. Once you have that information you can use the table in the linked article to see what Sidewinder options are available. Just find your OEM pin box in the left-hand column to see the options for standard or air-cushioned Sidewinders.
For example, if you have the popular Lippert 1621 or 1621HD pin box you can use Sidewinder # RP34FR or the air-cushioned # RP61422.
Please feel free to let me know what pin box you have and I will be glad to provide all available options.
