Expert Reply:

That is correct, your Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16245 is not compatible with Rota-Flex pin boxes like the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328330.

This is due to the pivoting system in the pin box and the pivoting system in the hitch head working against each other which can ultimately lead to the hitch head failing.

Instead, your only other option is to replace your pin box, or replace your 5th wheel hitch with something that is compatible with your pin box.

I recommend taking a look at the:

-Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928

This hitch has 20k lb capacity and a strong jaw system that provides 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact, a fully articulating torsion head for controlled coupling and a stable, quiet ride, and is compatible with rotating pin boxes, such as the Reese Sidewinder, Reese Revolution, and 5th Airborne Sidewinder, only when used with a wedge # RP44FR.
