Solution to Fix Jerking/Chucking of Fifth Wheel Trailer with Reese Revolution Pin Box
Question:
I read one review says you cannot do nothing with it unless you do and major overhaul what would you recommend to make the jerking and pulling easier airbags
asked by: Les C
Expert Reply:
Reese Revolution/Sidewinder pin boxes generally aren't too prone to chucking and noise but when this does happen what typically is the problem is the fifth wheel hitch not having a tight enough jaw to hold the trailer tight and prevent the movement associated with the chucking.
I don't know what hitch you have now but the B and W Patriot part # BWRVK3200 holds the king pin very tightly and would eliminate the jerking you described. Then for a custom wedge to fit it tightly to your Revolution you'd want the # SWW-06 and you'd be set.
