Question:
Why cant you use the sidewinder with the BandW gooseneck companion 5th wheel hitch for 2020 Ram 2500 with ramboxes.
asked by: Jeff W
Helpful Expert Reply:
The reason you cannot use the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3500 with the Reese Sidewinder is because of the excess torque on the single connection point and its inability to withstand this.
This hitch is not going to be compatible with any pivoting turret, so your best bet is to use a standard 5th wheel hitch like the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928.
From here you should be able to use the Reese Sidewinder with your 2020 Ram 2500 with RamBoxes.
