Selecting Sidewinder Pin Box for 2016 Keystone Laredo 297 Fifth Wheel

Question:

I am purchasing a 2016 Keystone Laredo 297 fifth wheel. It has a Lippert pin box. Cant find model #. Can you tell me which sidewinder pin box will fit that unit? Thanks

Usually a 5th wheel trailer's pin box part number will appear on the primary safety/information sticker on the driver's side of the pin box. I reviewed the trailer specs on the Keystone and other websites and pin box information is not provided so you'll need to check for the part number on your pin box.

Once you know it you can refer to the linked article that will tell you the available standard and cushioned Sidewinder pin boxes that will bolt right up in its place. For instance if you have the popular Lippert 1621 you can use the 20K Sidewinder # RP34FR or the cushioned 16K model # RP61422.

You can re-use the hardware from the original pin box to mount the Sidewinder.
