How to Measure a Pin Box to Find which Sidewinder Will Fit a 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
OEM part number of factory pin box is not visible due to the metal box cover that surrounds the entire pin box unit. The metal box does not have any visible hardware on the outside underbelly for removal so maybe this is only possible from the inside of the camper underneath the bed. If I knew the the pin box make, I could at least find out which sidewinder product will work on my camper so that I can pull the trailer with a short bed F150. The only other question I have is whether the old fifth wheel hitch can work with the sidewinder pin box, Lil RockR 16K.

Expert Reply:
The Sidewinder pin boxes can be used with the RBW Lil' Rocker 5th wheel trailer hitch as long as it is a stationary hitch and not a slider and if you use custom wedge # SWW-07 on the Sidewinder.
To determine the manufacturer and model of the pin box there are some measurements you can take. I have included a link to our help article that explains the measurements that are needed. I have also included a link to our Sidewinder informational article for you.
