Center pin box question

I just ordered a 2024 Rockwood 301RK fifth wheel with a center point pin box. Is the generic wedge that comes with the pin box good to use with my B&W Patriot hitch or do I really need to buy custom wedge made for my hitch?
Thanks in advance

  • Thanks to everyone for your posts. I will check with B&W.

    Last I knew, B&W did NOT want any of the pin boxes that used a wedge used with their hitches. That may be different with the factory mounts. Check with B&W before you do anything. Give them all the details you have about your FW, truck, hitch, etc. B&W are great people to work with and will answer your questions.

  • IIRC correctly B&W can use the Reese Sidewinder wedge for those turning pinbox setups.
