Hey Kenzie,
The Curt Helux is not compatible with any gooseneck adapters or rotating turrets. Lippert, the manufacturer, advises against gooseneck adapters due to possibly damaging the pin box or trailer suspension. Along with that the Helux is only designed to replace standard 5th wheel pin boxes at this time. It is not designed to handle and accommodate the difference in design and pivot points of the sidewinders/turning points.
