Will The Demco Recon With Slider Work With A Curt Turning Point Pin Box
Question:
Does this work with the Curt Turning Point hitch that comes on my G.D. 260RD fifth wheel? I’ll be towing with a 2020 Ram 2500 short bed truck.

Expert Reply:
The Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # DM57YV has a sliding function so you would not want to use this in conjunction with the pivoting function of the Curt Turning Point. If you lock out the pin box by inserting the two bolts in the back and transition it back to a standard pin box then you could use the slider function on the # DM57YV.
The # DM57YV only gives you 14" of turning clearance, whereas the Curt Turning Point will give you 22" so I highly recommend not going with the # DM57YV and instead using a fixed hitch like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVK3600. This would drop right into your puck system for easy installation and removal. You will need to use wedge kit # SWW-06 to lock the king pin of your Turning Point into the jaws of the # BWRVK3600.
