Today we're going to take a look at the replacement base assembly for the Demco Recon Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch. It has a 21,000 pound weight capacity. For this video I've placed the base onto a set of rails just to show you what it would look like when it's installed on the rails. This does replace the base assembly that's on your Demco Recon Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch. We sell that separately. It's Part Number DM 855043 and it is designed to be used with the Demco Recon Replacement Head, which is the DM 6169, that would attach to the yoke right up here. That does offer three height setting, hitch height settings, to fit your application.
It uses this adjustable yoke here that drops into the base. If you notice this pin . Let me turn it a little bit more, this large handle, if you pull the clip over here and pull this pin out this yoke will have three rows of holes that you can set it at whichever hitch height is required for your application to get as level of towing as possible. It will offer a hitch height setting of 15-1/2 inches, 17-1/4 inches, and 18 inches. The hitch height is always measured from the truck bed to the top of the hitch head, so when your hitch head is on this if you measure from the top of the hitch head to the truck bed, that's the settings you could get. This is a sturdy steel construction. It has a nice rust-resistant black powder coat finish on it.
It does come with the pins and clips you can see right here that is used to secure this base to your rails. This part is made in the USA. Again, the gross towing weight capacity is 21,000 pounds and the vertical load limit or pin weight capacity is 5,250 pounds. That should do it for the replacement base assembly for the Demco Recon Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with a 21,000 pound weight capacity.
