How Do Sidewinder Pin Boxes Allow a Short Bed Truck to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer without Interference
Question:
So the revolution or side wider adds about 22 inches to the total length of the tv, correct?

Expert Reply:
A Sidewinder moves the pivot point of a trailer back 22 inches. So instead of the trailer turning on top of the 5th wheel hitch it will instead turn back 22 inches at the turret that replaces the pin box on the trailer. I have included a link to our help article on Sidewinders as well as some videos for you.
