Reese Revolution Pin Work with any hitch?
Hey All, Silly question. Is the Reese Revolution pin box compatible with any 5th wheel hitch? Are all Pins universal? Buying a Rockwood 5th wheel in a couple weeks and need to install a hitch in my 20...

If you unlock with the Andersen, you will have two pivot points...one at the Andersen and one at the turret of the Revolution. Two pivot points won’t work and since there is no way to keep the box from pivoting at the Andersen you have to keep the Revolution locked.
As far as bed clearance, with the Andersen, you have a bit of rear offset possible depending on how you configure both the hitch and the cup. Trailers and trucks will differ but depending on the setup, you may not need a rotating pin box. (Yes, I have an Andersen in my short bed 2500 and no clearance problems).
No, you would not want to buy a rig with a Reese Revolution or Morryde Orbital if you plan to use an Andersen. If there’s a unit on the lot with one of those pin boxes, you can make it work. But know that regardless of your hitch situation, Rigs with OEM Revolutions or Orbitals do not use standard mounting wings and you are stuck with either the Revolution or the Orbital or you will need to have frame modifications done to accept a standard pin box.
If I were to do it all again, I would NOT buy a rig with an OEM Orbital or Revolution. I would buy a rig with a normal pin box mounting and then put an aftermarket rotating box on if (if I needed a rotating box).
If you do want a rig with an OEM Revolution, strongly consider the Morryde Orbital, too.
