• 18K Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F350 with Hitch Prep
  
• Since you already have the under-bed rails in your 2012 Ford F350 all you need is an Elite series hitch and you will be ready to tow. If you have a long bed you would want a Reese Elite Series Pre-Assembled 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30142, if you have a short bed you would want a Reese Elite Series Pre-Assembled 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # RP30144. Short bed trucks do not usually have the clearance needed to make 90 degree turns unless a slider hitch is used. That is why I recommended th

• Parts Needed to Install a Reese 20k Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch in a 2012 Ford F350SD with 8 ft Bed
  
• The fist thing you will need is an installation kit. For that I would recommend a custom kit specifically designed to fit your 2012 Ford F350 SD with a long bed since custom kits install in a bout half the time and minimize drilling. For that I would recommend the Reese Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # RP50073-58. I attached installation instructions and an install video for you to check out also.

• Weight Distribution/Sway Control for Travel Trailer w/1,460 lbs Tongue Weight and 2012 Ford F-250
  
• Since the trailer tongue weight is so high and you have a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch, I recommend Strait-Line Weight Distribution system, # RP66075. This system has a tongue weight capacity range of 1,000 to 1,700 pounds. The problem is that you may have to modify or remove the items on the trailer tongue, primarily the chest and platform the battery is setting on in order to use the system. The lift brackets on this system will be centered 30 inches back from the center of the ball cavity on t

• Does Using a Single Leaf Double-Eye Trailer Spring Allow for a Smoother Ride
  
• If the other spring has the same capacity as # TE30, rated for 3,000 pounds, then you will not experience any difference in ride quality. One thing to consider is if the springs are mounted on top of the axle, going to a single leaf spring like TE30 will cause the deck of the trailer to sit lower. I have included a link to our FAQ article on double-eye trailer suspension for you.

Some things that will lessen the likelihood or severity of the interference is an unobstructed path from the camera to the monitor, a short distance between the camera and monitor, and of course turning off anything you can that operates on 2.5 GHz. But I cannot promise you will not still experience interference since the truc

To use the Heavy Duty Trunnion Weight Distribution System, # RP66131, you will need to have a steel plate 5 or 6 inches wide welded, by an experienced welder, at 30 inches on center from the center of the hitch ball.

• Comparing Drum Brakes to Disc Brakes of a 5th Wheel Trailer
  
• I always recommend choosing disc brakes over drum brakes if you have the option. Disc brakes will provide more stopping power, less fade and require less maintenance because they have fewer moving parts. If your 5th wheel trailer currently has electric disc brakes and you want to convert to hydraulic disc brakes, then you will need not only the brakes, but a brake line kit and an electric-over-hydraulic actuator for disc brakes. You will also need a brake controller for your tow vehicle if y

• Comparing Jaw Types on Fifth-Wheel Trailer Hitches
  
• In regards to fifth-wheel hitches, there are a number of jaw types. A slide bar jaw is found on the less expensive hitches, such as the Pro Series # PS30129. This type of jaw is a secure one for your trailer but you will notice some king pin noise and some chucking as the fit is looser. This design will automatically close around the king pin once it is in place where the double- and single-jaw models will not. The double jaw design is more snug and secure than a slide bar jaw and you will he

This measurement is actually in the instructions for installation kit # RP50073-58 which I have linked for you to view. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you. After you have the forward rail in the correct place, the easiest way to get the other rail in position is to set the hitch in the forward rail

• Weight Capacity of Curt Class V 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver, Part # C15810
  
• You are correct that the product description for the Curt Class V 2-1/2 Inch Hitch Receiver, Part # C15810, shows the same tongue weight and gross towing weight ratings with and without weight distribution. This is because unlike lower capacity hitches, say a Class III, this Class V hitch is already rated at or near the vehicle structural limits. Strictly speaking, adding a weight distribution setup would give this hitch receiver higher capacity, but it would serve no purpose. Unless you do

Unfortunately Husky does not have specific measurements for the base rails available for your 2012 Ford F-350 to install the universal kit, but I can tell you that the center of the base rails should be about 2 inches in front of your rear axle and the base rails should be 22

• Can Reese Sidewinder be Used with a B and W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Ford F-250
  
• Reese actually states not to use the Sidewinder with B and W 5th wheel trailer hitches, including the Companion hitch, because it will put to much stress on the hitch, which is not secured enough to handle the rotation at the locked-out head of the hitch. A slider hitch is going to be the way to go. The slider that fits the Ford prep package is the Reese Elite Series, # RP30144. But another option is to use the Reese Elite adapter, # RP30156, and a more economical hitch like # RP30075 for a 1

• Where Does 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Trailer Wiring Connect on a 2012 Ford F-250
  
• First, in order to use a 5th wheel/gooseneck trailer wiring harness your 2012 Ford F-250 would need to have a factory 7-Way trailer connector. Under the truck at the back of the factory 7-Way there will be a plug that plugs into the socket. The two connectors on # 54701-003 plug in line with that plug. If your truck did not come with any sort of trailer connector you will have to add some first before you can use a 5th wheel/gooseneck harness. First you would install wiring harness # 18252.

• What Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for Ford F-250F Pulling 6000 lb Car Hauler Trailer
  
• The sag in your F-250 rear end and the loose handling when pulling your trailer can be corrected with a weight distribution/sway control system such as the Fastway e2, part # FA94-00-0800. An appropriate WD/SC system will level out your tow vehicle by placing more of the total weight load back on to your front axle, which will restore both braking and steering performance; and the sway control will help your trailer maintain straight-line tracking behind your F-250.
