Recommended Gen-Y 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box to Replace a Lippert Rhino Box

Question:

I purchased a 2022 Jayco Eagle 317rlok and would like to upgrade to the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Auto Latch - Lippert Rhino - 21K GTW - 3.5K TW Item # GY98GR I had a Gen Y on my current unit we just sold and have been happy with it. I believe this is the one I need, the new fifth wheel has the Rhino Box. I have attached photos. My question is exactly which unit I need. The GVW on the new unit is right at 13,000. Following the instructions at 22 that puts my estimated pin weight at 2,860. Jaycos specs say a dry weight of just under 2,100. So I believe this is the correct unit, but want to be sure I would not be another level up from here. Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the pictures and congrats on the new trailer! You are correct the Gen-Y item # GY98GR would be the correct adapter for your Jayco Eagle. This system replaces the Lippert Rhino pin box and has the extra pin weight capacity you will need.

I have linked an review video below.

You will also need the Safety Chain with 2 Hooks item # GY49GR. State laws require use of safety chains with a gooseneck hitch and they are not included with the pin box.
