20k Fifth Wheel Hitch Similar to Curt Q20 that is Rated for Turning Point Pin Box
Question:
Im seeing the comments on NOT using this with a turning hitch.inch I guess thats my question. Will this hitch work with the Turning Point pin box? Im buying a Grand Design that comes with a Turning point hitch. A big advantage with my Ram 2500 short bed is that with the Turning Point, I wont or shouldnt have to purchase a sliding hitch as the Turning Point should address turninginch issues. This appears robust, capable and easy to use AND pick up by one person. Will it work with the Turning Point and a universal rail system set up? Im looking at the Pullrite flush superrail set up.

The Curt Q series fifth wheel hitches are not rated for use with the rotating pin boxes like the Turning Point or Sidewinders. The heads of the hitches just can't handle the stress and end up damaging it and also shearing off the wedge of the pin box. For a similar hitch that can be used the Reese M5 part # RP30928 would work great.
