• Troubleshooting Reese 30160 Fifth Wheel Hitch Chucking with Sidewinder Pin Box
  The Reese hitch you have now part # RP30160 should be used with the Sidewinder wedge part # SWW-01 in order to have the best ride quality when towing a trailer with a Sidewinder. If you are using a universal wedge or a wedge for a different hitch this is the solution you'll really want. The # RP30160 has a really great jaw design that should not allow chucking so I'd suspect the wedge is the issue. That said, the head of the M5 cannot be swapped to it. If you wanted to go to the Reese...

• Comparing Reese Elite and M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch
  The Reese Hitch M5 Fifth Wheel # RP30921 has the edge over the Elite part RP30142 that you also mentioned. They both share very similar heads/jaws and provide excellent king pin contact but the advantage the M5 has is that it has cushioning built into it to provide a smoother ride quality. With the RP301412 you'd use the included universal wedge of your Reese Revolution and for the M5 you would want to use the RP44FR. You'd want to use the short end of it.

• Recommended Wedge Kit For A Reese Sidewinder And Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch
  Yes, the Universal Wedge for 5th Airborne Sidewinders # 201100 will work with the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret RP34FR, but the correct wedge is more dependent on the type of fifth wheel hitch. If you have a Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 like we talked about in your previous questions then you'll want the Sidewinder Wedge Kit for 20,000-lb Reese M-Series # RP44FR. This custom wedge kit is designed to fit the jaws of your hitch for a more snug fit. This...

• 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...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation with 5-3/4 Foot Bed
  Yes, you can install a 5th wheel hitch on your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation Edition with a 5-3/4 Foot truck bed, but any 5th wheel trailer you tow must have a pin box with a rotating pin box. You would want to find the pinbox model number on the spec sticker of your trailer in order to determine if there is a pin box with a rotating turret available to use as a replacement. With that said, you could use the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 and installation...

• Can 2020 Ram 1500 with Ram Box Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer
  Hey Craig, In order to tow a fifth wheel trailer using a 2020 Ram 1500 with RamBox you'll need to use a rotating pin box like the Reese Sidewinder which will be specific to the trailer. This is so that the pivot point is moved up high enough that the Ram Boxes won't get hit around corners. If the trailer uses a Lippert 1621 then the correct Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret is part # RP34FR. Then, you can complete the setup with the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard...

• How To Use The Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch With A Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
  To use your Lippert Turning point with your Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Single Jaw - Above Bed - 18,000lbs # DM8550034 you would need to lock out the Turning Point pin box and use the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for Hi-Jacker Fifth Wheels # SWW-05 to lock the king pin of your pin box in the jaws of the Demco 5th wheel hitch. Since you have a 2018 Ram 2500 with a short bed I'd recommend switching the 5th wheel hitch to a standard hitch and utilizing the Lippert...

• Trailer Hitch Options for a 2012 Ford F-350 With Factory 5th Wheel Prep Package
  The fifth wheel prep package that you have on your 2012 Ford F-350 is compatible with the Reese M5 Series fifth wheel hitches. There are two M5 Series fifth wheel hitches that are available, the M5 Series 20K hitch and the M5 Series 27K hitch, # RP30922. If your fifth wheel trailer weighs more than 18,000 lbs when it is fully loaded, then I recommend the 27K hitch. If you have a short bed truck you'll also need to use a sidewinder pin box to push the pivot point of your trailer back 22"...

• Sidewinder And Hitch Recommendations For A 2021 Cougar 316RLS
  Since you have a Lippert 1621 pin box the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret - 16,000lbs Item # RP61422 is the correct replacement. For the hitch I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000lbs # RP30047 with the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000lbs # RP30154. The rails will drop right into your puck system for easy installation. You will also need the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge...

• Pin Box And 5th Wheel Hitch Upgrade For 2019 Ram 3500
  I called Lippert and found out your pinbox is a 1621. So the Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret - 20,000 lbs # RP34FR will be the replacement you need if you want to go with a rotating turret. Because you have the RAM box the sidewinder is the only option for you. A gooseneck or a slider will not work with RAM boxes. I would pair it with the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 it can raise up to 18 inches. It will work with your rails...

• Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2012 Ram Mega Cab with Reese Elite/Ford Puck Pattern
  Reese made the aftermarket puck system you are referring to and also created the puck system for Ford. The system you reference is called the Reese Elite Underbed # RP30074 and will be compatible with the Ford Prep Package hitches. For the best towing experience, I recommend using the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ford Super Duty Prep Package - 18K # DM8550024. This will fit in the pucks and also give you the automatic sliding to provide proper turning clearance...

• Parts Needed to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with 2020 Ram 2500 with Ram Boxes
  Thanks for all of the info you listed on your camper and tow vehicle. Since we know your camper has a Lippert 1621 pin box the correct Sidewinder would be the # RP61422. On trucks with Ram Boxes the only way to tow a fifth wheel trailer is to use a Sidewinder pin box since it moves the pivot point up higher so there is no pin box interference.

• Is Sidewinder and Fixed Hitch Best Way to Tow 5th Wheel with 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 5.5 ft Bed
  The Sidewinder pin boxes like the part # RP34FR provide 22-1/2 inches of additional turning clearance so they would provide your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with a 5-1/2 foot bed with enough turning clearance. This is widely considered to be the best option for shorter bed trucks like yours so it would work great for you. For a hitch you'd want a stationary hitch like the Reese part # RP30928 with the custom rail kit for your truck part # RP50064-58. You can't slide a slider hitch back...

• Recommended Sidewinder and Reese 5th Wheel Hitch for Use with a 2018 Ram 2500 Short Bed with Ram Box
  You definitely have the right setup in mind. Since the Ram Box on your 2018 Ram 2500 with a short bed limits the inside width of your truck bed a Sidewinder is the only viable solution. I called my contact at Lippert who said that your Trailair Rota-Flex has the pin box number 1621 according to the serial number, making it part # LC328330 on our site. For a Sidewinder that is a compatible replacement you can use part # RP34FR. We also have the 5th Airborne Premium # RP61422 which adds...

• Is Ram M25 5th Wheel Hitch the Same as Curt Q25 5th Wheel Hitch
  Close, the Ram M25 is the same as the Curt Q25 hitch. If that's the style you're wanting then we have the Q25 in 2 different configurations depending on the bed length of your 2018 Ram 3500: 6-1/2' Bed Curt Q25 Slider - # C16566 Adapter Rails - # C29BR 8' Bed Curt Q25 Fixed - # C16049 We recommend using the slider over the fixed for the short beds so that you know you have enough clearance between your truck cab and your trailer during tight turning situations.

• Towing Trailer with Goose Box Behind 2016 Ram 2500 with RamBox Feature
  There is definitely a way to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your 2016 Ram that is equipped with the RamBox, but it's going to require some new components both on the trailer and your truck. The issue with the Ram Boxes is that they make the bed rails really narrow on the truck, so much so that you can't make turns without a standard pin box or adapter like a Goose Box knocking into them. The only solution for this is replacing the pin box on the trailer with a pivoting option like the Reese...

• Is a Sidewinder Pin Box or a Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch Better for a 2018 Ford F-250 with a 6-3/4 Bed
  You can use either a Sidewinder pin box or a sliding 5th wheel hitch to achieve a 90 degree turn with the 6-3/4' bed on your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. The most hassle-free setup would be to install a Sidewinder on your Jayco and then use a stationary 5th wheel hitch in your F-250. By using a Sidewinder you won't have to get in and out of the truck to unlock and lock the sliding feature on a 5th wheel hitch. We do have autosliding 5th wheel hitches but they are significantly heavier than...

• Recommended Fifth-Wheel Hitch to Pair With Reese Revolution King Pin Hitch on 2015 Silverado 2500
  There are a number of very good fifth-wheel hitches available for you to choose from, but their fit depends on the truck you have. In that regard, you will want to stay away from short-bed trucks, which you can classify as anything with a bed that is under 8 feet. The correct hitch is going to also depend on if you purchase a truck with a factory fifth-wheel prep package. Sliding hitches should not be used with the Revolution, and there are a few other fifth wheel hitches that are not...

• Can I Pull A 5th Wheel Camper With A Chevy Colorado?
  It is possible to pull a 5th wheel with a Chevy Colorado. There are going to be a few limiting factors though, this vehicle really is not designed for 5th wheel or gooseneck towing. I recommend using a Universal install kit like the Reese # RP30035, since there are no custom fit install kits available. This will give you your industry standard 5th wheel rails in the bed. From there you can put a hitch in the bed like the Reese M5 # RP30928. This hitch is rated for 20,000 lbs so it will...

• Cushioned and Extended Pin Box Replacement for Lippert 1116
  The only cushioned/extended pin box we have that will replace the Lippert 1116 pin box and provide more than 23-1/4" from the rear most bolt holes to the center line of the kingpin is the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder part # RP61412. This pin box has an integrated airbag to decrease chucking/jaring in addition to a rotating turret to increase turning clearance. The distance from the rear most bolt holes to the center line of the kingpin on this pin box is...

• Warranty for Reese Puck on Sidewinder Pin Box
  Hey Mike! If you bought the Sidewinder through us here at etrailer then we could help warranty out the parts but since it looks like you purchased it elsewhere (or it came on your trailer) then your best bet is to contact Reese directly like what you've already done. I've struggled to get answers from them as well so you aren't alone there. In the recent past Horizon Global was bought out by First Brands and ever since then it's been a bit of a circus over there. Are you by chance talking...

• Replace RotoFlex with Pin Box That Stays Away From Bed Rails
  Most standard pin boxes will not make a 90 degree turn in anything less than an 8 foot truck bed, but that is due to being too close to the cab - not the rails. You mentioned you wanted to replace the Rota-Flex with the Gen-Y hitch. Your old pin box and your new pin box must have to be the same bolt pattern (Like #1621) which dictates how big those mounting wings are. I don't think this is a solution to your need. This will just be another pin box that does not fit. The best solution...
