Hands-On with the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels Video

A wedge is needed, yes, and the Lippert Turning Point pin box does come with a universal wedge, but it is not a very good fit with the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710. So I highly recommend instead using the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth…

If you are having trouble fitting the wedge that came with your Lippert Turning Point pin box to your 18K B&W Patriot #BWRVK3255 then you can use the Custom Wedge #SWW-06 instead. This is actually designed for use with the Reese Sidewinder pin…

There are a couple of options that'll work great with your Lippert Turning Point Pin Box, however one hitch stands out to me more than others. Take a look at the: -Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs #C16115 This 5th…

Hello again, Neil. The B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch #BWRVK3200 weighs about 150 lbs. The head unit weighs 50 lbs and the base is just under 100 lbs.

The universal wedge of your Lippert Turning Point will work with the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch #BWRVK3200. That said I do recommend using a custom wedge for a better fit, the Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels #SWW-06; we have had a…

The Replacement Wedge Block for Lippert Turning Point Pin Box #LC79UD is a universal wedge that has been confirmed to fit both the Lippert Turning Point pin boxes and B&W fifth wheel hitches. If you bought a trailer secondhand and didn't have…

The shipping weight of the Curt cargo carrier part #C18151 that you referenced is 58 lbs so when you take out the weight of packing material you'd have a carrier that weighs 55 lbs. The weight capacity of the carrier is 500 lbs.

Since your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with MagneRide suspension has a 5-1/2' bed you'll have to use a sidewinder pin box to help prevent the nose of your 5th wheel from coming into contact with the cab of your truck. Pin boxes have specific…

Congrats on all your new toys! I do not think a Curt 5th wheel hitch, like item #C16120, is the best for your set up. You would need to purchase an adapter rail item #C88KR to use this hitch with your puck system. This adds weight, cost, and…
