Sidewinder Pin Box Replacement That Fits 2011 Forest River Microliter
Question:
I’m looking to purchase a sidewinder to use for my 2021 Ram 1500 shot box with Ram boxes , I’m not sure which one I need. My fifth wheel is a 2011 forest River microliter 8,000 GVW the existing king pin is a Lippert yet I’m not sure which model. I will include some pictures. I was also going to purchase a Reese hitch #RP30047 and wanted to know which wedge I would need for the sidewinder. And if there is anything else I’m missing or any additional advice. Thanks so much for your help.

Expert Reply:
I sent your pin box info to Lippert and they informed me that you have a 1621 pin box model so for a Sidewinder you'd need the # RP34FR for a standard model or the part # RP61422 for a cushioned model that has the 5th Airborne air ride system builtin.
This would work great with the Reese hitch part # RP30047 and then for the correct wedge you'd want the part # SWW-03.
