Question:
I contacted Reese about sidewinder compatibility with the new BandW OEM puck mounted 5Th wheel hitch for the 2014 RAM with the factory 5th option. They said as long as the hitch was not the turnover ball and used the standard companion hitch head, the SWW-07 wedge would work. Have you come across yet?

Expert Reply:
From what we have learned what you have been told by Reese is correct. There are 2 different B and W Companion 5th wheel trailer hitches. One of them just mounts in a gooseneck ball hole. The other one is designed only for the Ram OEM pucks in the 2014 Rams, # BWRVK3600.
The one for the Rams, # BWRVK3600, mounts and secures in the four pucks so it can be used with a Sidewinder. The custom Sidewinder wedge for the B and W hitch is # SWW-06. The one that you referenced, # SWW-07, is for RBW hitches so it would not fit a B and W hitch.
