Is Mopar M25 OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Compatible with the Sidewinder Rotating Pin
Question:
I have a 2016 Montana model 3160RL. I am having issue on tight turns and getting into the cab of the truck, so the sidewinder sounds like the perfect solution. My truck has the factory fifth equipment in the bed and I have the RAm 25K factory fifth wheel hitch. I looked on the camper hitch pin and its says Lippert but no model number. Two questions will the sidewinder work with my factory fifth wheel hitch and which model number would I order. currently I have the Morride hitch pin on the camper.

Thank you for the photo? I've managed to identify your pin box as a Lippert 1116. The hitch you have is a re-branded Curt Q25, which is unfortunately not compatible with the Sidewinder because the way the hitch head pivots would create too much instability.
You'll have to change to a different hitch that is compatible with Sidewinders to use one. If you let me know what make and model your Ram is, I can let you know which fifth wheel hitch you can use.
