Looks like you are on the right track here Willem, because the Sidewinder Wedge Kit # RP44FR will indeed be the correct wedge for the Reese Revolution Sidewinder and the Reese M5 fifth wheel hitch.

Thanks Jesse. But on the wedge page was stated: "Note: Only compatible with Sidewinder part number 68220" So I was little worried .

@Willem This wedge was designed to be used with # RP34FR vendor item # 68220 pin box. We have had many of our customers report to us that it will work with other Revolution Sidewinder models along with the Reese M5.
