The Sidewinder is pin box-specific, not vehicle specific so in order to determine which is needed we will need to know the manufacturer and model number of the OE pin box on your fifth wheel. This information is typically found on a sticker or plate somewhere on the pin box. If you cannot find that information, the manufacturer can usually provide it if you provide them with the VIN of your fifth wheel. You can also take some measurements from your existing pin box as shown in the FAQ article I will link to.

The # RP34FR you mentioned is a replacement for a Fabex 663 and 665, a Lippert 0719, 1621 and 1621HD or an M&M 663 and 665.

If you can reply with either the manufacturer and model number or the measurements of your OE pin box, I would be happy to make a recommendation for you.

You will also need to consult the clearance formula shown on the Sidewinder FAQ page in order to determine if you will have the needed clearance between the trailer and the truck cab.
