Which Sidewinder Wedge Works With a 2006 Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch

Question:

Hi, I am purchasing a sidewinder 16k hitch from you. I already have a Reese 16k slider that was purchased new in 2006. Do you sell a custom wedge for this hitch?

The Sidewinders come with a Universal Wedge, # 201100, which should work on your Reese 16k trailer hitch. If you have a Reese Elite, Signature Series or Select Plus Fifth Wheel hitch, you can use 5th Airborne Custom Wedge, # SWW-01.

I also noticed that you mentioned using the Sidewinder with a slider. While the use of a Slider is not prohibited with a Sidewinder, the slider will need to remain in the locked, towing position when using the Sidewinder.
