Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this replacement hitch head assembly with the crossmember head support for the Reese 16,000 pound 5th wheel trailer hitch. Now, this is a replacement hitch head assembly and crossmember head support that fits the Reese 16,000 pound 5th wheel trailer hitch. And it will include everything shown here on the table. We'll start with the head assembly.
It's attached to a pivot beam. And then that's installed into this head support crossmember right here. Does come with all the installation hardware you need right over here. And it also comes with the pull pins and clips that allow you to attach this to the 5th wheel. And a nice set of instructions that'll describe how this all goes together.
Now, this hitch uses a two-jaw locking system, provides a more jaw to kingpin contact than the slide bar models. That dual jaw locking system will completely surround the kingpin for significantly reduced wear, less rattle, and greater security. The head is a four-way pivoting head. You can see it'll go side to side and front to back. And this does have a black powder coat finish to help resist corrosion.
The extended handle right over here has a nice, cushioned grip on it, and it is a locking handle. You can see that when it is in the closed position, you can actually flip this lever up and put it fully closed, and then these holes will line up and you can put a padlock through there. Now, the padlock is not included. You would have to supply that. But that would lock it and keep anybody from opening or closing your hitch.
And then just lift that up and then you're ready to activate. Now, the base legs that this crossmember will bolt onto, those we do sell separately on our website. They're listed on this product page as related product. They're part number RP30727. Again, a few specs on this, the gross towing weight capacity is 16,000 pounds, and the vertical load limit or tongue weight capacity is 4,000 pounds. But that should do it for the review on this replacement hitch head assembly with the crossmember head support for the Reese 16,000 pound 5th wheel trailer hitch..

Replacement head and crossmember fit Reese fifth-wheel 16,000-lb trailer hitches. 2-Piece jaw provides excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact.
This hitch is a lot easier when connecting to camper. It also eliminates a lot of the chucking that was going on before. Pulling down the road is so much smoother, and was well worth the upgrade cost
Other than having to order 2 hitches because 1 got "damaged in shipping" the replacement crossmember and head was an easy install. BUT I am surprised that all the contents were in the 2nd shipment because look at how I received the shipment. The shipping department needs to do a better job. You guy's should use more and stronger tape on a shipment that weights 82lbs. : )
I had an old 15k head and all I had to do is pull the pins and move the rails in 1 spot and put the pins back in and put the new RP30047A on. The total job took 20 mins.
Great pricing and I have been in contact with Amy in CS to get an refund on my 1st shipment that was damaged and shipped back per UPS.
Everything arrived on time and all the small assembly parts were packed in the box with clear directions on assembly.
This is the fifth time I have ordered from Etrailer and I am very satisfied
Excellent customer service and quick service. I highly recommend etrailer

The hitch came quickly and was exactly what the description advertised it to be.
