Pin box cougar rls 26 2008

[Rolly]

Hello, my cougar rls 26 was built in 2008 according to the label, I need the make and if possible model of the pin box urgently to order a sidewinder and all the markings on the pin box had been removed. Can anyone please help me with this?

Are you the original owner? Are you sure this is the original pinbox? Through the years, many people "improve their towing" by changing out pinboxes, so on a 12 or 12 year old trailer, unless you're sure it's OEM, you may be misled by what someone else has on their 2008 fifth wheel... Taking their advice makes it two times as probable that one or the other trailers doesn't have the OEM pinbox, increasing your chances of a problem.

If it is OEM, Keystone can confirm, by VIN, what the model of the original pinbox.

Taking a guess (actually a WILD A** GUESS) if each side of the pinbox has 5 front holes and 4 back holes for height adjustment, it's probably a Lippert 1621.

Not a good start for me, I have 8 front holes and 7 rear holes on this box.

[JRTJH]

Is it a "all steel welded flat plate? or does it have any articulations (moving parts) or any rubber/plastic components that act as shock absorbers?

[Rolly]

No moving part, no rubber or plastic, just a plain metal box with holes and bolts and the king pin.

Thanks to all for trying to help with this. I am trying to find a place to install a sidewinder on my Cougar but they all shy out because they don't know what make it is! In my area the trailer place are extremely busy with such a short summer and all the delays with Covid19, they can't waste time to try to find the answer to the question to order the right sidewinder for my trailer. Well, I will keep working on it, I doubt this is not the original king pin and I will try contacting a Cougar dealer...

There should be a vin number stamped into it?

My pin box has the 8 & 7 hole pattern. Here are photos if they help any.

It's a Lipertt, says right on the tag. Well at least the frame is. But man, that's a lot of holes

[Rolly]

Hard to say from photos, but at least a good lead, I appreciate your help, a big THANK YOU!
