Difference Between Reese Sidewinder # RP61412 and # RP34FR

Updated 04/20/2018 | Published 04/19/2018

Question:

I see that you offer a Sidewinder RP61410 and RP34FR. What is the difference between the two? Will the less expensive one not fit my Fabex Mdl 520? Also you show just a rotating turret. Is this something that can be adapted to my existing pin box or is it a replacement item? Thank you.

Reese Sidewinder King Pins are designed to replace the existing pin box on a trailer. The only difference between the Sidewinder # RP61412 and # RP34FR that you referenced are the pin box models they are compatible with.

For your Fabex 520 pin box, you will need the Reese Sidewinder # RP61412. The difference in price simply has to do with the manufacturer and the product's current availability/demand. This Sidewinder king pin will move the trailer's pivot point an extra 22 inches toward the rear of your tow vehicle to give you the needed clearance to make sharp turns with your trailer. It has a towing capacity of 16,000 pounds. The rotating turret is included.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can check out.
