Can B and W Companion Hitches be Used with Sidewinder Pin Boxes
Question:
Why cant you use a sidewinder with a BW 5th wheel hitch?
asked by: Lane M
Expert Reply:
If the B and W Companion hitch is one like the # BWRVK3600 that attaches using the 4 pucks it will work with a Sidewinder like # RP61412. If the Companion hitch is like the # BWRVK3500 which only attaches with the center post for the gooseneck hitch it can't be used with a Sidewinder due to the torque the Sidewinder would put on the attachment point.
You will want to use the proper wedge, part # SWW-06, with the Sidewinder.
