Since the B&W Patriot 5th wheel trailer hitch #BWRVK3200 mounts to industry standard rails and is secured at the four corners of the hitch you can use a Sidewinder pin box with it. We have recently spoken to B&W about this and they have…

I have the current manual of the B and W Patriot hitch part #BWRVK3200 pulled up and it states that pivoting pin boxes like the Sidewinders, Reese Revolutions, and Lippert Turning Points can be used on page 4. I am not sure why you found that but the…

There are a couple of ways other than replacing the pin box on your trailer that can help to reduce the chucking you are experiencing. First, I simply recommend checking to make sure the tongue weight of your trailer is around 10-15 percent of its…
