Can the Reese Sidewinder Be Used On a 2016 Ram 2500 With B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
Im thinking about getting the 19k reese Sidewinder. Im planning to use it with the Demco turnover gooseneck ball to 5th wheel adapter mounted on a BandW turnover ball. For a 5th wheel hitch, I plan on using the Demco RECON. Will these parts be compatible with the 19k Sidewinder?

I do have an option for you but the Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret part # ST400-SW19K you referenced will not work with any sort of gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter such as the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # DM6140 with the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # DM8550043 or just the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 because there is too much stress for a single connection point.
If you have the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch part # BWGNRK1384 then your best option for a short bed truck is the B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3400. However, if you have the Ram Boxes on your 2016 Ram 2500 then you would need to remove the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch and use the Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin but with the Reese M5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30928 and the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50054-58.
