Locating Replacement Pin Box to Extend Existing Pin Box on 2016 Genesis Toy Hauler
Question:
We have a 2016 Genes toy hauler fifthwheel and would like to extend the pin box from 14 5/8 inch to 20 1/2. Can you help us? It has a Lippert hitch on it. Thanks,

It sounds like you are looking to replace the existing pin box on your 2016 Genesis Toy Hauler with a Reese Sidewinder, which will move the pivot point 22 inches behind the king pin.
Replacement pin boxes are designed to replace the factory unit on the trailer. In order to locate the correct Sidewinder model, you will need to find the part number of the pin box that is currently installed. This information should be displayed somewhere on the pin box itself, either on a sticker or stamped into the unit. If you cannot find this number, you can also contact the trailer manufacturer with your VIN and they should be able to provide you with this information.
For example, the Reese Sidewinder # RP61412 is designed to replace the Lippert 1116, 1716, and 0115 pin boxes, along with various other model pin boxes from Fabex and RBW. I have attached a link that will take you directly to our available selection of Sidewinder pin box couplers, along with an article that you might find helpful.
