I have a 2022 28.5 RSTS HT 5th wheel with the Curt turning point pin box. I do not use the turning point feature. Since new, I have noticed some movement of the pin box relative to the cap. From unhitched to coupled to the hitch with landing gear raised it moves 1/2 inch. When driving on a bumpy road it has additional movement. It has done this since new. There are none of the other frame flex tell tale signs ( the molding at the sides of the front end is intact, and there is no movement along the walls inside the front. My 2018 27.5 HT 5th wheel did not have pin box movement but did end up having side wall cracks and signs of frame problems. What are other owners of newer HT’s with the turning point observing??
 
I purchased a '21 31mb in October. It has a morryde orbital (turning point) also. I've noticed the same deflection in mine also. Did you ever figure anything out? (I know this is an old post)
