Can a B and W Companion Hitch Work with a Sidewinder Pin Box Replacement
Question:
I noticed the note in the info section about the sidewinder not working with the companion hitch without securing the hitch from rotating. Since the bwrvk3600 is mounted in the bed pucks and does not rotate, will it work with the sidewinder pin box?

You are correct, if the B and W Companion hitch is one like the # BWRVK3600 that attaches using the 4 pucks it will work with a Sidewinder. We actually had this same discussion several months ago and ended up calling B and W and they confirmed that this hitch would work with the Sidewinders for the reason you mentioned.
You will want to use the proper wedge, part # SWW-06, with the Sidewinder.
I attached a help article on Sidewinders for you to check out as well.
