For your Reese 30026 5th wheel hitch you can use either the Universal Wedge # 201100 or the Custom Wedge for Select Series (which is what you have ) # SWW-03. My contact at Reese said that either one will fit and work well with your Sidewinder.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
