Can B and W Patriot Hitch be Used with Pivoting Pin Boxes Like Sidewinders
Question:
After purchasing and installing the Patriot 16k hitch in our short bed truck, going to be used with Lippert Turning Point pin box. I am now seeing the following from the users manual: Do not use the Patriot 16k 5th wheel hitch with any device that changes the location of the king pin pivot point. The king pin on your trailer must rotate in the jaws of the Patriot 16k Coupler, see figure E1. Preventing the king pin from rotating within the jaws of the patriot 16k coupler with a wedge, see figure E2, or any other device, such as a Reese Sidewinder or Reese Revolution , could result in property damage, serious injury or death. Is this in fact true or am I OK to use?

I have the current manual of the B and W Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3200 pulled up and it states that pivoting pin boxes like the Sidewinders, Reese Revolutions, and Lippert Turning Points can be used on page 4. I am not sure why you found that but the Patriot is definitely okay to use with the Turning Point.
