Is Pro Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # PS30855 Compatible with a Sidewinder, 2008 Chevy Silverado
Question:
I just purchased a Starcraft Homestead 5th wheel trailer that had a Sidewinder Cequent Shortbed Pin Box installed as a factory option. I am purchasing a 5th wheel hitch for my 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Ex Cab with a 6 1/2 foot bed. I would like to buy a Reese 16K Pro - Series but want to make sure all is compatible..Thanks !

Expert Reply:
The Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret, # RP61412, that you have referenced is compatible with the Reese 5th Wheel trailer hitches. You will need a stationary trailer hitch like # RP30047. I have included a video review of the hitch, a video showing the installation of a Sidewinder, and a link to the Sidewinder installation details for reference.
I have also included a link to an FAQ article that explains what products the Sidewinder is NOT compatible with, as well as a link to our Sidewinder FAQ article.
