On the Reese Revolution and a B and W 5th wheel trailer hitch you will need to bolt the wedge, # SWW-06, so that the narrow end points towards the front of the Revolution and the recessed part is facing down. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

B and W Companion fifth wheel hitches may only be used with a Sidewinder if 2 additional bolts (1/2 inch diameter, grade 5) are added at the rear most support to keep the hitch from rotating in the bed.

Hi Frank; the #RP74FR (68204) and #SWW-06 look different because they are a little different. The #RP74FR is only designed to work with the 68220 and 69220. If you have a different Sidewinder this wedge will not fit. It also fits a wider range of 5th…

I checked the Lippert Turning Point manual and below attached the maintenance recommendations. No mention of needing to lube the hitch plate is listed so you really don't need to lube that area. If you insisted on doing so a graphite lube like…

Since your trailer has the bracket #FRCBRKT-BL that would mean your trailer has the Furrion pre-wiring which is very common for newer RVs. The part #FOS43TASF is a fit for this and would be a really easy install. This gives you a monitor with a 4.3…

A lube plate such as the Reese #RP83004 isn't necessary for a Reese Sidewinder because it won't be turning. Our representative at Reese stated you will only need to grease the king pin and wedge and you will be good to go. Since they are not…

You actually aren't supposed to use a lube plate with a Reese Revolution/Sidewinder pin box. Because the pin box doesn't turn in the hitch head you'd only need to grease the wedge and king pin and you'd be fine. Since they are not…
