"Do not use the Companion 5th wheel hitch with any device that changes the location of the king pin pivot point.

I have been using this setup for over 3 years now without one bit of problem. One trick we found was to make sure you release the tension on your hitch by temporarily placing the truck in neutral after you have wheel chocked the trailer.
(at his own cost)ġ00% improvement for hook-up as it is much more forgiving on your approach. Our trailer dealer, on his own, inspected our hitch combo after one winter storage and switched the 5th wheel to a Husky 16K W which features a three way articulated 5th wheel. Like most we found hitching and unhitching to be a challenge. Initially had a static Husky 5th wheel in the bed of our 2006 Dodge 1500 Mega Cab, 6 1/2 bed. We had a Reese Sidewinder installed on our 2010 KZ 1500.

Takes just a few minutes to loosen and readjust the wedge and tighten back down. It is easily seen in the rearview mirror as the kingpin to hitch connection appears loose and moves side to side when turning. The wedge has moved slightly back twice now which will cause a bump to the truck when going into corners. Have been using our setup since day one and no major issues. There could be a little play side to side at the pin box and if you can detect that in the mirrors - my hats off to your eyesight. You should have that checked out for your safety. However, the trailer should not be able to move side to side unless the wedge has loosened, was improperly installed, or the wrong wedge used. Having just purchased a fifth wheel with a Reese Revolution pin box I don't have a lot of experience with it. I use a sidewinder with B&W rvk3600 and it works great. Guess it would be easier to say that it doesn't always return to dead center. Looking in the mirror I can see that the trailer may follow along a little more on the right or left side. The only odd thing is that my trailer sits a little more to one side or the other, depending on which way you turned last. No sway, buffering or being pushed around. I have the Revolution paired up with a Husky Hitch and really like the setup and find far superior to towing a travel trailer before this setup. Tracks fine and I think it is easier to back up. Had them evened out and got rid of most of the problem. Hard to explain but the "plates"(construction) of my hitch jutted out. Zero problems there.Ģ013 Silverado 3500HD - Duramax/Allison - CC, long bed, SRW, 2WDĢ017 Grand Design Reflection 303RLS - TST 507 TPMSĪ bit temperamental at times hitching or un-hitching, seemed to be due to binding due to the angle not quite right. With a long-bed now, I have removed the wedge and pinned the arm to allow it to function like a conventional pinbox.

But that aside, doesn't carry the cost or weight penalty of the Pullright Superglide and unlike manual sliders, you never have to remember to engage it. A bit temperamental at times hitching or un-hitching, seemed to be due to binding due to the angle not quite right. Tracked fine, I highly recommend for short beds to save the cab of your truck. no help from Reese so I would not recommend towing with a Reese hitch.įor most of 3 years, I pulled the trailer in my signature with the 16k Sidewinder when I owned a 1/2-ton Silverado. The problem I have is un-hitching if the truck is tilted a little to the side from the trailer. we just made our 2nd trip from NH to FLA and love the way it handles and tows. I have the Reese revolution (same as sidewinder) and tow with a 2500 short bed GMC. I would like to know how they track at highway speeds.any sway or is there excessive movement in windy conditions? Are you happy with your Sidewinder? Any pros or cons you have discovered. I am considering purchasing a Reese Sidewinder Pinbox. I am pulling it with a Tundra with a 6 1/2 foot bed.
