How to Determine if a Sidewinder is Available for a 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
Do you carry a Reese Sidewinder that will fit a 1995 Avion fifth wheel? Do you carry a Reese Sidewinder that will fit a 2003 Holiday Presidential fifth wheel? I am looking to buy one of these 2 fifth wheels and will need to put a Sidewinder on for my 2003 short bed f250.

Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have know in order to pick out the correct one. We don't have pin box model information based on trailers so you will have to determine that by checking with the seller of both trailers you are considering.
There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer. If not then I've attached our help guide article that will walk you through identifying your pin box.
Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have on both trailers. For example the # RP61412 will fit a Lippert 1116 or 1716 bolt pattern.
