Does a Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin Put More Stress on the Trailer Frame
Question:
does the sidewinder hitch put more stress on the frame of the trailer?
asked by: Nelson J
Expert Reply:
The Reese Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turrets does not put additional stress on the frame and will not void any warranties. In fact, this same pin box is installed from the factory on select trailers under the name "Reese Revolution". In order to get the correct Sidewinder, you'll need to identify the model of the pin box installed currently. The part # RP34FR listed above for example fits the widest range. It's compatible with Lippert 0719, 1621, and 1621HD pin boxes as well as Lippert 1716 and 0116 pin boxes when you add the Spacer Kit for Reese 20K Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pin part # RP97FR.
If you don't know the pin box model number, you'll need to reach out to the trailer frame manufacturer with the serial number.
