Can Hi-Rise Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, # 9480 Be Used With a 5th Airborne Pin Box
Question:
I have a standard Fifth Airborne pinbox not Sidewinder on my fifth wheel and would like to buy this fifth wheel hitch. It says that it wont work with a Fifth Airborne and I am curious as to why?

I spoke with my contact at 5th Airborne and he stated that if you just have a 5th Airborne pinbox and no sidewinder, then you will be able to use the Hi-Rise Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, # 9480. The problem with the sidewinders is that the rotation they allow would put too much stress on the Hi-Rise and it would not be a safe towing situation.
But, with just the 5th Airborne pinbox on the trailer and no sidewinder, you will be able to install and use the Hi-Rise.
