I know I read some one's comment that the sidewinder didn't work well with a B&W hitch but can't find it now. I talked with vendor and they told me they had a specific wedge for the B&W and it works great. I have a SB truck and looking at either the sidewinder or the airborne sidewinder to provide some better maneuverability. Does the airborne addition work well enough to justify the extra costs??? And anyone have any issues with the sidewinder and B&W hitch???
Thanks!
I have contacted etrailer and also B&W. The sidewinder is OK to use with the Ram (RVK3600) or the Ford Puck version. The regular companion that attaches in one place (gooseneck) is NOT recommended for using with a Sidewinder.
I have 5000 towing miles with my B&W RVK3600 hitch and Sidewinder. It works great. I did break the wedge on the sidewinder here recently, but they sent me a new one within a day. Good customer service
