What our customers are saying:

I recently placed an order with your company for a fifth wheel hitch. I placed the order on January 12th. I did not expect delivery for at least 10 days. It arrived yesterday after only four days. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you and your company for the very prompt delivery. Efficiently run companies are hard to find now days and I appreciate doing business with one. I just placed a second order with you. You will continue to be my first choice when ordering online. Thanks again and have a great day.

Pro Series Fifth Wheel Hitch Review

Today we are going to show you the Pro Series line of fifth wheel hitches. The Pro Series family of fifth wheels is a great way for people new to the fifth wheeling hobby to get into it without investing a whole lot of money. They are also a nice fit for a budget conscious fifth wheel tower. The Pro Series fifth wheel hitches are available in 15000 15K, 16000 16K, and 20000 20K pound capacities. All of these hitches include the basic functions and features needed to properly tow a fifth wheel trailer. 00:26


Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch 16,000 lbs Review

Today we are going to assemble part number RP30047 from Reese. This is a 16K fifth wheel hitch. To start off, we are going to take the legs and assemble them on our rails here that are pre-existing on the truck. Then we will take our cross bar assembly that goes across, this will simply sit over the top, you can adjust it up and down as you need to match the height of your trailer. Then slide these bolts from the inside, out. :37


Fifth Wheel Hitch Kit Installation - 2000 Ford F-350 Pickup

Today on this 2000 Ford F-350 pickup we are going to install part number RP50082-58 from Reese. Also our 22K Reese fifth wheel hitch part number 30033. The first step involves removing the spare tire and take it down temporarily so you have some access to work underneath the vehicle to tighten up the nuts and bolts. The second thing we want to do is go to the driver side of the vehicle and disconnect the the hanger that holds the parking brake cable. That will get reattached to the frame bracket when we install that. This is the back side of the nut that we just took off of the bolt so we will just pull that out of our way. What is going to happen is this is going to get sandwiched between the bracket and the actual frame of the vehicle when we reinstall it. The next thing we are going to do is go to the bed of the truck and we will put the first rail in and mark its location. As you can see here we have got the first rail in the bed of the pickup and what you need to do is measure from the edge that we see facing us towards the edge of the bed itself. Then we want to make sure we have the rail even left to right. 01:06


Reese 20K Select Plus Fifth Wheel Hitch Review

The 20K Select Plus uses the regular traditional 30035 rail system. It basically is an above bed rail system, that can be used with the universal bracket mounting kits. Or, it can also be upgraded and used with our custom install bracket kits. The round tube slider will also adapt right into those rail kits30035 and pin right in, so it is pretty basic. A lot of the times when you see this 20K Select Plus used as an upgrade, the customer comes in and they have upgraded their travel trailer to a heavier weight capacity. They already have in the bed rails in their truck, they just need to get a little bit more weight capacity out of their hitch. That is where the 20K Select Plus comes in. They may be upgrading from a 16,000 pound hitch up to the 18,000 pound hitch. It will simply adapt right into the rail systems they already have for the 16K Plus.

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup with a Short Bed
  • The custom install kit for the 1500 and 2500 model is actually the same.

  • Is a Pivot Head Lockout Necessary for Highway Travel with a Fifth Wheel Trailer
  • It is not necessary to lock the head from side-to-side or lateral pivot when towing on the highway. A Pivot Head Lockout is typically used to prevent some trailer sway. If when passing or being passed by large trucks, your trailer rocks laterally, a lockout can stop that. If your trailer does not have this problem then it is not required to use a lockout. That being said using a lockout, even without sway, will not harm the hitch.

  • Proper Mounting Position of Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch on 2011 Ford F-250
  • When installing a fifth-wheel hitch in the bed of a truck you want to make sure that the jaw of the fifth-wheel sits directly over or slightly in front of the rear axle center. I looked up the instructions for the Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, part # RP50082-58. This installation kit states that the center line of the hitch should be approximately 2-15/16 inches in front of the center line of the axle. Your install kit may be slightly different but should be close to the measurements o

  • Recommendation for a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for a Toyota Tundra Supercab with a 6.5 Foot Bed
  • You will either need a slider hitch or a Sidewinder (see link) to pull a 5th wheel trailer with your Toyota Tundra Supercab, with a 6-1/2 foot bed. For the 6-1/2 foot bed I would recommend a slider hitch and the Curt E5 16K Fifth Wheel Trailer hitch with R5 Roller, item # 16516 is a good choice. Along with this hitch you will need an installation kit for your truck. For the 2007-2010 Toyota Tundra 6-1/2 foot Box, except Crew Max, you will need the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit, ite

It provides 12 inches of fore and aft travel and the round tube sliders slide a bit easier and perform better in cold weather than do the square tubes. The bracket and rail kit for a 2010 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a 6 foot 6 inch bed is part # RP50064-58. This kit includes the frame brackets, bed rails and all the hardware needed to install. I hav

  • What Are Benefits Of Round Tube Slider On Reese 20K Select Plus Fifth Wheel Hitch, # 30083
  • On the Reese 20K Fifth Wheel Hitch, # RP30083, they call it a non-binding, round tube slider. That means the round tube will eliminate binding, which will allow better movement of the hitch on the slider, as compared to the square tube slider. Also the round tube slider will provide 12 inches of front to back travel, compared to 10 inches on a square tube slider. That could provide an extra 2 inches of turning clearance.

  • What Kind of 5th Wheel Hitch Will Fit a 2005 Chevy Silverado with a 5 Foot, 9 Inch Bed
  • For your 2005 Chevy Silverado with a 5 foot, 9 inch bed, you will most likely need a sidewinder. This means you will have to do a little measuring. It is a simple formula, but your measurements have to be accurate. (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from center of fifth wheel hitch jaw to truck cab (in this case only, this should be 1-1/2 inches closer to the cab than the center of the axle) B = Length of Sidewinder arm (16K = 22 inches, 19K = 22 inches, 19.5K = 22 inches) C = Width of

  • What Reese Fifth Wheel Hitches will Install to the Factory Rails and Pucks on a 2011 Ford SuperDuty
  • The 2011 Ford SuperDuty in bed system is the Elite rails and pucks. The attachment point between the pucks and the fifth wheel hitch is a bit different between the Elite Series and the Signature Series. Basically, Elite pucks will accept the Elite head with no adapter needed. If you already have a Signature Series head, you will need adapter kit, part # RP58419, to get it to fit into the Elite pucks on the 2011 Ford SuperDuties. To sum up, with the Elite rails and pucks in a 2011 SuperDuty

  • 1993 Dodge Ram Fifth Wheel Rail Installation Kit for a Reese RP30047 5th-Wheel
  • You would use universal fifth-wheel rail installation kit # RP30035 to install rails on your 1993 Dodge Ram. You will have to drill to install this kit, as no custom brackets are available for your vehicle. I have included a link to the installation instructions to give you an idea of where and how much you will be drilling. Plastic bedliners do have to be cut for installation, but if you have a spray-in bed liner this would not need to be cut.

  • 5th Airborne Cushioned Pin Box Recommendation to Reduce Clunking
  • At this time we do not sell a lockout kit that would prevent this Pro Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # PS30093, from pivoting side to side.
