Question:
i have a rp 30051 5th wheel and im wanting to install a st400-sw19k on 5th wheel trailer just need to know what the right/best wedge for this setup.

Expert Reply:
In most cases, the universal wedge that comes with the Sidewinder will work. For a Reese 16k hitch like # RP30051, the universal wedge is all you will need.
Keep in mind that the hitch will need to always remain locked in the towing position and never slid forward with the Sidewinder installed. Doing so would create problems with too much stress on the system, move the trailer weight too far behind the rear axle of the towing vehicle, and could interfere with the truck tailgate.
