Is There a Wedge that Can be Used with Curt Q16 Fifth Wheel Hitch
Question:
Is there a wedge for the Curt Q16 that will work with the Lippert turning point hitch?
asked by: Ken H
Expert Reply:
The Curt Q series of fifth wheel hitches actually shouldn't be used with any pivoting pin boxes like the Turning Point or the Sidewinder. The way the head pivots and the jaw/head head design just doesn't hold up well to the different stresses that the pivoting pin boxes put on the hitches.
Instead, you can use something like the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 with Sidewinder Wedge # C16991.
