• Towing a Trailer Rated for 15,500 Pounds with A 15,000 Pound Rated Hitch
  Congratulations on the purchase of a new RV. For safety reasons, I can not recommend the setup that you are suggesting. Even though your, # 30046, hitch is rated to tow 15,000 pounds, the potential to overload the hitch exists. I would recommend upgrading your 15k hitch to at least a 16k model. There are two models that you can use to upgrade your existing hardware to either 16,000 pounds or 20,000 pounds. The Replacement 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch Head, item # RP30047A, would use your existing...

• Will Reese Select Plus 5th Wheel Hitch Center Section Fit Draw-Tite 18k 5th Wheel Hitch 40163
  I spoke with my contacts at Reese and Draw-Tite about center section # 58293 and your Draw-Tite 18K 5th wheel hitch 40163. After doing some digging he determined that this center section is compatible with your hitch. This particular center section fits several Reese and Draw-Tite Select Plus series hitches so that is another way to determine compatibility.

• Older Reese 5th Wheel Hitch Head Moving
  Hey Ron; the # 58293 is the center section of the Reese Select Plus 30081. I have not heard of a head unit moving more just on one side, so my best guess is the center section where the head attaches or the head unit itself is damaged on that side. I'd go ahead and remove the head unit to see if there is something amiss there. This 30081 has been discontinued for quite some time so I'm sorry to say there aren't any bushing kits or much in regards to replacement parts.

• Weight of Each Piece of Reese Elite Series Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch

• Will a Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head Fit in a Reese 16K Slider Base
  I have some good news for you. While an Elite Series head would not work in place of the 16K head on Reese 5th wheel hitches you can use the Select Plus head # 58292. The only other part you would need according to Reese is the center section specific to this head which is # 58293. Another 20K option is to use the Pro Series head that comes with the center section # 30118. The slider base that you have now in your 2009 Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra 2500 is compatible with the above options.
