Ask the Experts about this 5th Wheel Hitch

• Is the Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with the Lippert Rota-Flex Pin Box
  
• I spoke with my contact at Curt who said that the A20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16140 is compatible with the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box without any additional components. He did say that they have heard of instances where the rubber pad on the Rota-Flex pops out of place which results in it prematurely wearing down the head unit of the A20 but since that problem is with the pin box you would have this same issue with any 5th wheel hitch. If you are replacing your pin box and this

• Grease Fitting Locations for Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch
  
• The zerk fittings for the Curt A20 hitch part # C16140 are located on the front of each jaw.The jaws must be in the closed and locked position for the zerks to be accessible. They are kind of hard to see but I attached a picture that points them out. Curt recommends high pressure grease like the part # L11465. If you need a grease gun we have part # L30200.

• Trouble with Locking Handle Engaging on the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• I spoke to my contact at Curt about your Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 and they informed me that the locking handle issue is likely a result of improper lubrication. For starters, I would take some brake parts cleaner and spay down the jaws and the locking handle to ride any debris. Once you have let the jaws and handle mechanism dry then you can take some LubriMatic White Lithium Grease part # L11354 and work it onto these components while moving them back and forth to

• Why Would Curt A20 Fifth Wheel Hitch Chuck with Travel Trailer
  
• Hey Matt, that's frustrating to hear but my first question is what type of wedge are you using for the pin box and the A20? If it's a universal wedge that would be what I'd think the issue is. The custom fit wedge you'd need is the part # C16992. That should tighten up chucking quite a bit. Let me know what you have now for a wedge and we can go from there. Also if you see where the movement is that is causing the noise let me know.

• Will Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch Work with Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins
  
• I do have an option for you but the Curt A-Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches like part # C16140 are only compatible with the first generation Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins, not the second generation Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin because there was an issue with the wedge shearing off during testing. If you have the first generation then you can use the Sidewinder Wedge for Curt A Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # C16992 but if you have the second generation then you will

• Comparing The Curt A16 And Q20 Fifth Wheel Hitches
  
• With the Curt A16 # C16120 being a lower rated hitch than the Q20 # C16130 it's going to be a bit smaller. That being said, the A-Series does come with the wraparound jaws and a fully articulating torsion head to provide better cushioning from road shock and easier coupling than the Q-Series. The A16 is compatible with rotating pin boxes unlike the Q20 so you have a bit more versatility if you ever traded out your trailer. The A16 will also come with a limited lifetime warranty whereas

• What Other Hitches Can Fit Husky Rails in Bed of 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
  
• The Husky rails you have installed in the bed of your 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD are an industry standard design which means the vast majority of fifth wheel hitches out there would fit them. Brands like Reese, Curt, Demco, Husky, Valley, B and W, and even some Pullrite would fit. The Curt A20 part # C16140 would be a really great option that fits your rails. This hitch has a really tight jaw design that allows it to be quieter that other options and is also easy to use and really

• Is Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Compatible with Reese Revolution Pin Box
  
• Yes, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16140 referenced in your question is compatible with the 16K Reese Revolution Pin Box on your trailer. I do just recommend adding the Custom Wedge # C16992 to prevent the Revolution king pin from pivoting in the hitch. This will bolt right onto the Revolution and provide a much better fit for the Curt A20 than the universal wedge that may have come with the trailer. I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on both of these products

• Will Curt A20 Legs Fit Curt Q20 Head Unit
  
• I'm sorry to hear your Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16140 got ruined, though the Q20 Head Unit # C16530 won't fit on the A20 legs (either will the Q25 head unit) because they have different mounting spacing. Since it sounds like the A20 legs are still okay since you want to re-use them, what you can do is replace the A20 head unit: - Replacement Head Unit for Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16540 It even comes with the hardware needed to attach the head unit to the legs so you'd

• Loose Connection Between Curt A20 Hitch and Curt Base Rails
  
• Since you mentioned the cotter pins which are used to secure the feet inside the rails, that makes me that you are referring to the connection point between the rail and foot on one of the four corners of the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140. If that is the case then you will want to inspect the hole on the foot, the hole inside the rail, and the pin that connects these together. If these holes have become misshapen then this could very well cause the loose connection that

• Is a 16K 5th Wheel Hitch Enough for a 16K GVWR Trailer
  
• The gross vehicle weight rating or GVWR is the most the trailer can weigh fully loaded. In regards to choosing a fifth wheel hitch for a trailer, you'll need to be rated above this figure. For example, if the trailer has a GVWR of 16,190 lbs then a 16,000 lb fifth wheel hitch won't be a wise choice. I recommend a 20K, the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140 is the best for the money and will work with Reese rails if that is what you have. This allows you to load the trailer with

• How to Adjust Curt A20 Hitch Head Height for Trailer that has Front Tires Showing Wear

There are other slider hitches available, but they are going to be considerably heavier than the Crosswing. For example
