Is Wedge Needed for B&W Companion and Lippert Turning Point Pin Box
Question:
Hello, I have a B and W Companion RVK3710 in my GMC Sierra 2500 and a 5th wheel on order with the Trailair Lippert Turning Point pin box. Is this wedge necessary to make that combination work for moving the pivot point back? Thank you!

Helpful Expert Reply:
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 Wheels # SWW-06.
This is a much better option than the universal wedge, and our customers who have used it with the Turning Point agree, as you can see by the review I added. I have also added a link below to a video review if you'd like to check that out.
