Will Sidewinder Pin Box Work Well with Reese 15k Fifth Wheel Hitch

I have a Reese 15000 fifth wheel hitch and pull a 42 ft sportsman toy hauler, how would the sidewinder hitch do . I pull it with a 2003 dodge 2500 crewcab

Expert Reply:
Reese made your hitch and the Sidewinders like the part # RP34FR that you referenced so the two work really great together. The Sidewinder will give you better turning clearance as well as will allow the trailer to track better behind the tow vehicle around corners, and will be easier to back up since the pivot point is further back. Check out the test course video I attached for more info on how it looks in action.
This model Sidewinder is designed to replace the Lippert 1621 pin boxes so you'd need to first verify that's what you have on your toy hauler.
