Can B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitches Be Used With Sidewinder Pin Boxes
Question:
I have a 2016 ram 2500 with the BandW fifth wheel hitch using the gooseneck. Can you use the sidewinder pin box with it.
asked by: Eddie
Expert Reply:
No, B&W Companion hitches like the # BWRVK3500-5W are not compatible with a Sidewinder pin box like the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret # ST400-5AS16K. There are no adapters currently available to use a gooseneck hitch with a rotating pin box so you would need to replace your gooseneck hitch with a standard fifth wheel hitch like the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3200 with the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVK2602.
You'll also need The 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels # SWW-06 which will prevent the king pin from rotating in the jaws of the Patriot hitch.
