Video Transcript for Reese Rotating Turret for 5th Wheel King Pins Review
Today we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Reese Rotating Turret for the 5th Airborne and Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins, part number is RP61300. Now when we use this with part number RP61301 - which is the Spacer Kit - it's an exact replacement for the ST100 Rotating Turret. It's designed to fit many different pin boxes. Now here's what our turret's going to look like. We're just going to be replacing the existing turret that was on our customer's Airborne Sidewinder here. Basically what has happened is he's switched to a different camper and this doesn't give him the width we need, so we need to go with one just a little bit wider to make up that spacing. Nice thing about it, we have several different turrets available so in this case if, like this customer, you are switching campers we just simply get a new turret to put on there to fill up that gap so we don't have to worry about buying the whole Sidewinder kit again.
Now these work really well with the Sidewinder or with the 5th Airborne Sidewinder kits or just a replacement. Here we've got four bolts that we're going to remove. Now we have already added on one of our side-plates here. Once we have it installed we'll show you how to add the other one on, it's really straightforward, really simple. With the side-plates that we've got here - part number RP 61301 - this is actually going to turn our turret right into that ST100 that was previously offered. It will just sit right here on the side.
We'll show you how that goes on in a minute. Lets get the turret installed on the Sidewinder. We want to remove the four existing bolts right here in the top and hang onto them because we're going to be reusing them. With that plate up, with the plate should come our ring. Now our turret kit's going to come with a new ring, so we won't need to hang onto that. Keep that for backup.
Grab both sides of the turret, lift straight up on it. You see there it's going to slide right off. We'll set this aside. The new turret is going to slide right down on there. This cut-out here should be facing towards our truck.
We're going to place our ring right down on top, see that's going to allow it spin freely there. Our top plate's going to come down on, then we'll snug those bolts down and torque them to the specifications that we'll find in our instructions. Now for our side-plates you simply take the roll-pins that are provided, we want the notched side to be facing downward. We'll line up the small holes, you see we've got the two here on the side-plate and there's going to be two in the side of the turret. We're just going to set our side-plates down on a flat surface, use the roll pins and a hammer and we'll just tap these in. Once we've got them started there, line them up with our turret and then we can just simply knock them on in. Now we want to make sure those roll pins are flush with the outside edge here because as we slide this in place our pin box is going to slide down the outside, and if those pins we're sticking out at all they're going to cause it to hang up on us. Lets go ahead, head out and get it installed on the camper. Now depending on which pin box we're going into or which other brackets we're going into, that's going to vary which hole location that we'll be using. Now we're doing the Lippert 1716 so we're going to use hole pattern or configuration 'B', which is going to be the low hole closer to the middle on the bottom and then the hole closest to the middle on the top. Now you can see I've just used a little white paint marker, kind of marked them, that way when we get it up in place we'll be able to identify those because we'll be looking through the side-plate, so we want to be able to identify that we've got those lined up. Now lets go ahead and stick it up in there. Now that we've got our holes lined up, we'll take our bolt, we're going to take our provided hardware with the flat washer, slide it through from the outside. Then on the backside we'll have a conical tooth washer, the teeth of that you need to face outward towards the side-plate. Then we've got a hex nut that we'll put on there as well. Now we'll just go through and snug down each one of our bolts, then we can torque them to specification. Now we've mounted our breakaway switch and our junction box back up into place. We're going to keep them mounted on the part that's attached to the camper itself, that way we don't have to worry about our wires being stretched too much. Remember it's going to pivot here now instead of here on the front, so we don't want to attach that stuff up here because then it' going to be flexing that wire in and out all the time as it turns. Now with everything back in place and re-secured, that's going to complete today's installation of the Rotating Turret for the 5th Airborne and Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins - part number RP 61300.

It was great I got it in two days and went together easy and quick, works good.
by: David T.02/18/2019
I installed the Reese Sidewinder on my 2018 Ram 2500 short bed truck to increase the turning radius. First of all the ordering process was exceedingly simplified by the Q and A comments that are available when I put in my pin box model number and read the comments that told me specifically which one that I needed. I ordered the one that they specified and three days later it arrived. Fair price and great response. Now then the install. The first thing I did is to install the wedge as I did the install my self with no one to help me. I then locked the hitch into my fifth wheel as tho I were going to tow something. With a small hydraulic jack below the pin box end I adjusted it to the approximate height to then back it into the slot of the empty pin box on the trailer and with the use of an aligning bar started to put bolts into the holes as they matched. This whole process including assembly and torquing took about 45 minutes. I took the rv for a test run and what a difference! I highly recommend not only the hitch but the vendor as well. I hope this helps someone. Thank you etrailer

This turret with the Sidewinder King Pin has been awesome for my fifth wheel. It has eliminated my concern with the trailer hit the cab in my short bed pickup. In fact, I had to make a tight turn that was almost 90 degrees and it performed beautifully.

Everything is working out great.

See what our Experts say about this Reese Accessories and Parts
- Effects of Sidewinder on Pin Weight Exerted on 2001 Ford F250Using the Sidewinder will not increase the pin weight exerted on the vehicle by the trailer. The Sidewinder simply relocates the pivot point between the trailer and the vehicle from the point where the king pin locks into the jaws of the fifth wheel hitch to the point where the turret attaches to the trailer. This provides more clearance between the front of the fifth wheel and the rear of the truck cab. We have a FAQ article that features additional information about the Sidewinder Replacement...
view full answer... - Availability of Replacement Turrets for Sidewinder Pin BoxWe have several replacement turrets for Sidewinders, but I would need to know which Sidewinder you currently have to be able to pick out the correct one for your setup. Or if you have the pin box model and number I can look it up based on that as well. I attached a link to a page that has all of the turrets we offer as well. The most popular one would be the part # RP61300 which is for the very common Lippert 1621 and a few others.
view full answer... - Will Reese 61300 Rotating Turret Fit SW-19K SidewinderYes, it will fit your existing SW-19K Sidewinder component. This will fit the 1621 model pin box on your new trailer perfectly.
view full answer... - Replacement Turret Recommendation for Fitting a Sidewinder Arm to a Lippert 1621 Pin BoxTo fit your Sidewinder arm that you have you would need to replace the turret with the # RP61300 so that it can fit your Lippert 1621 pin box. That would be all that you would need and you would be set.
view full answer... - Will Rotating Turret RP61300 Work With Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King PinThe Rotating Turret, part # RP61300 is designed to fit 5th Airborne and Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins. This turret is designed to fit Fabex 663 and 665, Lippert 0719, 1716, 1621 and 1621HD, and M&M 663 and 665 pin boxes. If your pin box is any of these mentioned, the # RP61300 turret will work with your Sidewinder.
view full answer... - Does Cap Come With Sidewinder Rotating Turret?The Rotating Turret for 5th Airborne and Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins # RP61300 does not come with the cap. This is only the turret and hardware. I've added a link to a review video on this product for you to take a look at.

- What is Width of Rotating Turret for 5th Airborne and Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins RP61300Yes since the turret part # RP61300 fits as replacement for Lippert 1621 style pin box this would be 12 inches wide from outside to outside.
view full answer... - Torque For Re-Installing Sidewinder TurretWhen re-installing the Rotating Turret # RP61300, you will start by torquing the four bolts to 150 ft-lbs, which is to ensure the turret is completely seated in the assembly, so that's what you want to do first. After that, you will then back off the bolts, and loosen them to 45 ft-lbs of torque. So it is actually both, you just need to start with the more significant 150 ft-lbs of torque then back it off to the lesser 45 ft-lbs.

Your trailer pinbox number should be located on a sticker or stamping on the OEM pinbox. If you can't locate the number, a quick call to ForestRiver with your VIN should do the trick. Rotating Turret, # RP61300-01, is going to fit the following pin boxes: Fabex 500,...

view full answer... - Which 5th Airborne with Sidewinder Will fit my Lippert Pin BoxI just got off the phone with Lippert, and your pin box should be a model 1621. In this case, the 5th Airborne with Sidewinder that will fit is part # RP61422. I have added a link to the part below.
view full answer... - How to Determine if a Sidewinder from One 5th Wheel Trailer Will Fit on a Different TrailerTo determine if there is a Sidewinder and/or 5th Airborne Sidewinder for the new trailer I will need to know the manufacturer and model number of the pin box itself. This information should be on a sticker or plate on the pin box. On most 5th wheel trailers, there are wings that stick out of the overhang that are part of the frame/chassis structure. the pin box bolts to it so on your existing trailer you would want to get the pin box, including the turret that is bolted to those wings...
view full answer... - Is a Spacer kit Needed for Sidewinder Rotating Turret?You have the correct Rotating Turret # RP61300 for your Lippert 1716 pin box; if it is too narrow you are correct that you would need Spacer Kit # RP61301, which mounts on the side of the turret and should be used with pin boxes that measure 12-1/2". I've added a link to a review video of this kit for you as well.

The pin box part number can be found on the pin box safety/warning sticker that is usually on the driver's side. With that you can use the linked article to select a direct bolt-on replacement Sidewinder pin box such as 16K-rated # RP34FR which fits in place of the popular Lippert 1621 and 1621HD pin boxes as well as others. I also included an article that shows...
view full answer... - Can I Modify My Sidewinder With A Different Bolt Pattern By Drilling Holes To Match Turret HolesIt is not a good idea to modify your pin box to match turret holes. This can compromise the integrity and stability of your pin box and in general is not a safe course of action. The best thing to do is switch out your Sidewinder with one that fits and where the bolt holes line up. A Sidewinder that fits your situation and I recommend to replace your Fabex 500 is the Reese Sidewinder, Item # RP61412. Your other option is to replace the turret with # RP61300-01 and keep the Sidewinder...

Those should be welded to the frame of your trailer and isn't something that we have available.

- Recommended Sidewinder for K-Z Jag 5th Wheel TrailerOn your KZ Jag, the pin box you have is likely the Lippert 1716 or 1116 based on the measurement you gave. If that is the case as you can tell by taking a few other measurements outlined in the attached article, then you can use the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret - 16,000 lbs # RP61412. For just the turret you can use the Rotating Turret for 5th Airborne and Sidewinder 5th Wheel King Pins # RP61300-01.

view full answer... - Can a 5th Airborne Coupler be Converted to a Sidewinder 5th Airborne CouplerBecause of the differences in design between the regular 5th Airborne, # RP78FR, and the Sidewinder version, # RP61422, you cannot convert a regular 5th Airborne into a Sidewinder. If the Sidewinder is required, you would need to purchase the entire unit, # RP61422.
view full answer... - Can I Convert the Reese Sidewinder # RP16420 to a # RP61412 Sidewinder by using a Spacer KitI spoke with my contact at Reece and he confirmed that the Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pins with Rotating Turrets # RP34FR and # RP61412 both come with the Rotating Turret # RP61300. By adding Spacer Kit # RP61301 to # RP34FR you will not end up with the same product as the # RP61412 because the latter has an air shock integrated and the former is rated for higher weight capacity.
