Is There a Reese Airborne/Sidewinder Pin Box To Replace a Lippert Rhino Pin Box?

Question

Question:

ive narrowed it down to the Demco auto slide youve suggested But have couple question on the rhino pin box of my 2022 vengeance/rogue 45foot toy hauler. If after pulling toyhaule I find that my 45foot toy hauler needs some type of air suspension on pin box what are my options with Demco Auto-slide. from some of Forums Ive been reading it sounds like some type of Air suspension pin-box would make the ride a lot smoother n less wear/tear on camper and truck. Your thoughts? If I find I need an air suspension on my pin box. Would I then be better off to keep my current sidewinder truck bed hitch and buy a different sidewinder airborne pin-box to replace the rhino box since I would only be replacing the pin box versus having to buy a new Demco auto slider n a different Air-suspension pin box to replace Rhino box. If yes what Airborne Sidewinder Pin-box would I need to replace my Rhino box on my 2022 Vengeance When I was looking at pull right and Demco auto sliders, I noticed that the Demco has 3-height adjustments, while the Pull-right only has one. What are reasons a person would a low or high hitch point on auto-slider?? Im thinking I would want to keep camper front-end on a low sideless wind resistance so your front end is not so high but theres also gotta be a reason to keep it at the high hitch point? Thanks

While Reese does offer a Sidewinder # RP34FR or Airborne # RP78FR which will replace your Lippert Rhino pin box they do not have a combination Airborne/Sidewinder which will bolt to the mounting arms on your 2022 Vengeance/Rogue toy hauler.

I find it is often best to upgrade the suspension on your 5th wheel which will greatly reduce the amount of chucking on the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550034. The height adjustments on the hitch make it easier to gain the clearance needed between your 5th wheel underbelly and the bed sides on your bed. I find it has become more important with todays trucks bedsides getting taller then they have ever been.

You will need the Demco Autoslide Locking Plate for Lippert Rhino Pin Boxes # DM76FR to use the Demco with your Rhino Pin Box.

We do not offer the Pullrite brand but in my research it does appear to compare to our Demco Hijacker AutoSlide like #DM8550024. Both the B&W and Demco 5th wheel hitches are great for the short bed user. What will make the difference is the…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two…

Great question, Jeff! When the Rota-Flex first came out it renovated what a pin box could do and be, but at this point in time that technology is a little more dated and the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel Pin Box #325-GH-8040 is the "new…
