How Much Length Will A Sidewinder Add To A Trailer
Question:
Does the revolution or sidewinder pin box increase the total length of the 5th wheel by about 22 inches?
asked by: Steve
Expert Reply:
The sidewinder will not add 22 inches to the total length of the trailer. Sidewinders move the pivot point of the trailer back 22 inches. If the sidewinder will add additional length to your trailer depends on the difference in length between your existing pin box and the # RP34FR.
From the center of the king pin to the front mounting holes, the # RP34FR measures approximately 18-1/16 inches. This measurement will help you determine how much longer the sidewinder would be than your existing pin box.
