In order to choose a compatible Reese Sidewinder like the 5th Airborne # RP61412, you will need to determine what kind of pin box you have. Since you are unable to read the label with the pin box number on your existing 2010 Jayco Eagle Lite, you can use the bolt hole measurements of your pin box to determine which one you have. I have attached a helpful FAQ that explains how to do this.
Once you have determined which pin box you have, you can then go to the separate article I attached regarding the Reese Sidewinders. There is a chart at the bottom of the page that will tell you which Sidewinder is compatible with your pin box.
A final option is to just call the trailer manufacturer with the VIN or serial number of your trailer and have them provide the coupler type.
