Wedge In Storage Location
Note: The universal wedge is supplied with the unit and provides a lockout for many different fifth wheel hitches.
Cequent Performance Products offers custom wedges designed for specific fifth wheel hitches, check with your RV
dealer or call CPP customer service at 1-800-632-3290 to see if we offer a custom wedge for your hitch application
for purchase. If a custom wedge is available for your hitch application, CPP recommends replacing the universal
wedge with a custom wedge to provide the best fit for your hitch. The universal wedge should remain with the unit
as it may be necessary if breakdown occurs to fit a tow vehicle other than your own.
