• Comparing Reese and Curt Sidewinder Wedges for Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• The Reese custom wedge # 30861 is flared out at one end so it should fit and lock out the pivot at the E16 hitch better than the rectangular Curt wedge # C16991. But since both fit the same hitch you could go with either one. As long as the wedge you use successfully locks out the pivot at the hitch then it will work.

• Can Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Be Used with 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  
• It sounds like you'd like to install the Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Hitch # C16115 into your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with a 5-1/2 foot bed. This will be no problem at all if your truck already industry standard rails installed. If not you can add them. I suggest the Reese Custom Base Rails Kit # RP50064-58. The custom kit will be much easier and faster to install than a universal kit. It will also work with your Sidewinder pin box. You'll need the wedge, part # C16991 if you don't...

• Problems Unhooking Trailer with Sidewinder King Pin from Curt 5th Wheel Hitch
  
• You may want to check out the Sidewinder Wedge Kit for Curt E-16K Fifth Wheel Hitch # 30861. If you are using a universal wedge, it could be your problem. Curt also offers a wedge for the E16, part # C16991. I recommend the Reese wedge # 30861. This wedge is more of a custom fit than the Curt # C16991 wedge.

• Can a Sidewinder Pin Box be Used with a Curt E-16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• Yes, the Curt E-16 5th wheel hitches such as # C16115 are compatible with Reese Sidewinder replacement pin boxes. If your E-16 hitch is a slider hitch then it will have to stay locked in the tow position at all times when using it with a Sidewinder. The only thing I recommend to add is the custom wedge for Curt E-16 hitches # C16991. The custom wedge ensures the best fit between the Sidewinder and the hitch.

• Best Sidewinder Wedge Kit Fit for the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• I reached out to my contact at Curt and they advised me that once you actually bolt the Sidewinder Wedge # C16991 on the Sidewinder there should not be any wiggle room. The Sidewinder Wedge Kit for Curt E-16K Fifth Wheel Hitch # 30861 will provide the same fit as the # C16991. I recommend using the # C16991 or the # 30861 instead of the Replacement Universal Wedge for 5th Airborne Sidewinders # 201100 because they are specifically made for the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch.

• Can Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Hitch be Used with Reese Revolution Pin Box
  
• The Curt E16 fifth wheel hitches that have the slide bar jaw can be used with a Reese Revolution pin box. We even have a wedge that's designed specifically for fitting that hitch's jaw design as well, part # C16991. If the hitch is a slider hitch that is designed to slide back around corners you'll need to leave it in the slid forward position at all times.

• How Does Trailer Loading Affect Sway in Arctic Wolf 5th Wheel
  
• If you have noticeable sway from your Arctic Wolf 5th wheel and you cannot find anything wrong in the hitch, pin box, wedge, wheels or suspension on the trailer I recommend making sure that your specific loading of the trailer provides enough pin weight at the hitch. The optimal range for 5th wheel pin weight is 15 to 20% of the loaded trailer's gross weight. I suggest confirming both the gross weight and pin weight of the loaded trailer when it is all set for the road. I suggest aiming...

• Lightest 5th Wheel Hitch for 2017 Nissan Titan XD with Factory Gooseneck and Revolution Pin Box
  
• The easiest and lightest 5th wheel hitch available that will attach to the factory gooseneck pucks in your 2017 Nissan Titan XD and is compatible with a rotating pin box is the Curt E16 # C16515-16026. This hitch features an overall weight of 195 pounds but one of its benefits is that it uses a 2-pin head removal design that lets you easily take the hitch out of the bed in a couple of more manageable pieces. For reference the head assembly by itself weighs 68 pounds and the base weighs...
