I have a Reese RP34FR and a B&W Companion BWRVK3710. Is the SWW-06 a better wedge option than the RP74FR for my pin box and hitch? Thanks

Hey Jay, thanks for the information. The 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels item # SWW-06 is going to be the best option for your B&W Companion item # BWRVK3710. It's designed specifically for your 5th wheel hitch and will spread the pressure more evenly across the hitch head.

The Sidewinder Wedge Kit item # RP74FR is more of a universal option for the Reese Sidewinder item # RP34FR.

What kind of trailer do you have?
