Is there a Custom Sidewinder Wedge for an RBW 5th Wheel Hitch
Updated 09/18/2018 | Published 09/17/2018
Question:
Do you need a different wedge for the lil rockr 15k to match up with a SW 16k?. Mine seems to bind when unhooking unless I am perfectly straight.

There is a custom wedge available to use a Sidewinder with an RBW hitch. It is wedge # SWW-07. If you look at the Sidewinder manual it states "Note: Truck and trailer must be straight in-line for the wedge to enter into the fifth wheel funnel." It doesn't really mention having to be straight to uncouple but it does make it easier. At an angle there is likely going to be tension on the king pin which is going to make it bind up.
