Will Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box Help Reduce Twisting of Trailer

Question:

I pull a 44ft toy hauler with a semi, It has a solid 5th wheel, and I’m worried about going thought holes and twisting my trailer, will this hitch have a little bit of movement on the sides to side and help to not twist my trailer anymore

The Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC369535 referenced in your question features a pivoting head that will definitely help to cushion your ride when going over bumps and during normal travel. This will not only make for a more comfortable experience on the road but it will also limit the strain that this bouncing and jarring puts on both the trailer and your semi. The pin box has an internal air bag as well that will even further absorb road shock. It has a towing capacity of 21,000 pounds.

This particular upgraded pin box is designed to replace the Lippert 1621 pin box on the trailer. You will just want to make sure that this is what you currently have on the trailer for this to be compatible. The pin box model number is usually located right on the pin box itself, either with a sticker or stamped into the unit.

I have attached the written installation instructions that you can also take a look at.
