Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Replacement Base Legs for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com And today, we're gonna take a look at these Reese replacement base legs for fifth wheel trailer hitches. Now, this pair of replacement base legs are designed to be used with your Reese or Pro Series 15,000, 16,000 or 20,000 pound fifth wheel trailer hitches. And these wide-stance one-piece legs are going to give you excellent stability. And this features a nice black powder coat finish that's going to help resist rust and corrosion. And just to give you some overall measurements so you can be confident this is going to work for you, beginning with the overall height, when these are actually in the rails in your truck bed, this is going to be about 8 1/4 inches tall for the overall height. And then looking at the leg width, beginning here at the widest point, at the bottom, we are measuring right at about 4 5/16 inches wide.

And then it becomes more narrow here at the top, and so at the top, this measures that about three inches wide. Now overall, the overall length of these legs, and I'm measuring from center-to-center where this is going to connect here in your rails, this is sitting right at 22 inches long, center-to-center. So these legs are the replacement from Reese, they're directly from Reese, so you can have the confidence that this is going to work with your Reese or Pro Series 15,000, 16,000, or 20,000 pound fifth wheel trailer hitches. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy.

Thank you for joining me.

My shipment was received exactly as ordered. I installed the replacement legs last night and they fit perfectly. Easy installation to replace my slider mounts. There was a small problem with the information I provided in the billing area but I was contacted immediately by customer service and the problem was corrected with no delays in by order. My contact with etrailer.com customer service was very pleasant and could not have been more helpful. Thank you etrailer.com customer service for great response and preventing any delays.

This product has been great! It has provided me with a quiet and stable ride with these brackets. I recommended the brackets to my close friend and he purchased the identical ones from etrailer and is totally pleased. Thanks again etrailer for the quality product and great service. Jim

Originally I had the slider system for my short bed. I kept getting a lot of back and forth movement in my hitch. I changed my kingpin to a sindwinder and put these on my hitch and basically removed all of the movement.

The service was great. George sent me an Email and upgraded my shipping for free. I greatly appreciate that.

I havent used it yet. But it will be great. I bought those uprights for a flag stand being made for my 5th wheel rails to fly 5 flags at a time. Its at the Fabricators shop.



by:

Exactly what I needed. Fit perfect.



by:

These Reese base legs replaced a slider on on a 16k hidden hitch. They fit well



by:

This is actually a good review, product is great , customer service was great also, and went above and beyond to help. But their supplier on hardware was very lacking. Mounting kit incomplete and wrong hardware. But etrailer did everything they could to make it right.



by:

First time ordering through etrailer. Knowledgeable staff, products arrived as described and on-time. Was unable to locate one item needed for the project on there website my rep made a recommendation which I agreed too but expected I would be sending it back. When it arrived it was spot on and I was able to complete the project that day. Overall great service, will order from them again.

Not much to say about first wheel hitch legs, they fit, they work.

etrailer got them to me 3 days after I ordered them. THAT is worth noting!

Great product perfect fit used to change my slider to stationary fifth wheel

I switched from my Reese slider to a fixed mount. Of course they do their job, but it also freed up space in the bed.

I’m very pleased with the help, advice, and product I received from etrailer. They make sure you get the right part and follow up with notices to let you know when the part is arriving. Their customer service is excellent.

  • Can a Reese 20K 30084 be Converted to Fixed Hitch
    If you have an Elite Reese fifth wheel hitch that fits under bed pucks then we do not have a solution, BUT if you have the 30084 square tube slider that fits industry standard hitch rails we can help. Email me back and let me know.

  • Recommended Sidewinder Pin Box or Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch for 2015 Ram 1500 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    For your 2015 Ram 1500 with the short 5-1/2 foot bed, the ProSeries 16K slider as you stated will not allow the turning clearance you need. I recommend using a Sidewinder pin box and a fixed hitch for your application. So I recommend starting with using your 16K hitch on the Replacement Base Legs for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30727 which are a confirmed fit. Then use the Sidewinder Wedge Kit for Pro Series 16K # 30850. Your pin box looks like a 1621, and if that is what is printed...

  • Will 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Legs Mount in the Same Rail Spacing as a Slider 5th Wheel Hitch
    On the 5th wheel installation rails, the holes a slider unit fits into and the holes the Replacement Base Legs for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # RP30727, fit into are the same distance apart. Or, in other words, once you have rails installed you will be able to drop in a set of legs or a slider and either one would fit. This method will tell you how far apart from each the rails will need to be, but it will not tell you where the rails will need to go in the bed. For that, you will...

  • Installation Kit for Fifth Wheel on a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 and Replacement Legs for Reese 16K Head
    The proper installation kit for your 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 is part # RP50140-58. These brackets that mount to the frame underneath the bed, and the rails that are in the bed for the Fifth Wheel to attach to. You do not necessarily have to remove the sliders and replace them with fixed legs, but if you want to, Reese part # RP30727 are the legs to fit DrawTite and Reese 15K, 16K and 18K heads.

  • Replacing 16K Slider on Reese RP30047 5th Wheel Hitch With Stationary Legs
    The Reese # RP30727 Replacement Base Legs are the correct legs to replace the slider on your Reese # RP30047 hitch. I've linked to the owner's manual for the # RP30047, in case you no longer have it.

  • Can I Convert Reese 16K Slider # RP30051 To Stationary 5th Wheel Hitch
    I contacted our representative at Reese about converting your Reese 16K Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch, part # RP30051, to a stationary hitch. He informed me that you will need Reese Replacement Base Leg, part # RP30727.

  • Converting Reese 16K Round Tube Slider Hitch to Stationary Base
    If your Reese 16K slider hitch is part # RP30075 then you can indeed use fixed leg kit # RP30727 to convert it to a stationary hitch and save a bit of weight. If you have the Reese Titan series 16K hitch RP30869 then the correct fixed leg kit is part # RP58449. I confirmed the compatibility of these two kits with the above-referenced hitches with my technical contact at Reese.

  • Can Reese 5th Wheel Hitch Legs be Installed In Place of a Slider Base
    You might be able to swap the slider base for regular legs on your hitch but I would need to know which hitch you have, what it is rated for, and its approximate age. Depending on the hitch you have, you may need a different cross member too, # RP58147. You mentioned a narrow stance which makes me think you have an older hitch that has mounting feet that are 10 inches apart on center. The cross member and legs are made to fit in the slots that are 20-1/2 inches apart on center.

  • Replacement Hitch Head Rated For 20K To Replace 16K Head on Reese 30047 5TH Wheel Hitch
    Yes, the Reese 20K Head # 30118 will fit the Base Legs # RP30727 you have on the Reese 5TH Wheel Hitch # RP30047. You will need to use the Wedge # SWW-03 with the Reese Sidewinder 20K Pin Box.

  • Are Fixed 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches Lighter than Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches
    Yes, slider hitches weigh more because of all the extra steel and components in the sliding base. A fixed hitch of the same make and capacity will weigh less. For example, take a look at fixed Reese 16K hitch # RP30047. We have the shipping weight listed at 108 pounds. But for the square tube slider with the same head, # RP30051, the weight is 156 pounds. And the round tube, # RP30075, is 182 pounds. Quite a difference. It will be much easier to move a fixed hitch rather than a slider....

  • Recommended Sidewinder Pin Box for 2012 Chevy Silverado with 5.8 Foot Bed and Reese 16K Hitch
    For your 2006 Keystone Cougar, I recommend the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret - 16,000 lbs # RP61422 for the best ride due to the air cushioned pin box to reduce jarring and chucking. If you just want the standard Sidewinder, then # RP34FR is what you are seeking. For your Reese 16K hitch, you will need to leave the slider locked in the forward towing position and I recommend custom wedge # SWW-03. If you want to replace the slider base or...

  • Will Replacement Legs 30727 Fit With Reese 20K 5th Wheel Hitch
    The Reese 20K 5th Wheel Hitch 30083 slider that you purchase will fit the Replacement Base Legs # RP30727 so that you have a stationary hitch. You'll just use the same head and center section and you'll be good to go!

  • Sidewinder Fifth Wheel King Pin with Rotating Turret for a 2009 Dodge Pickup
    You can most likely use a Sidewinder with the hitch you currently have. You can replace the slide assembly on your Reese hitch with the standard legs, part # RP30727, which would be the safest option. Or you could retain the slider and keep it locked in the towing position, being aware that moving the slider with the Sidewinder installed can be very dangerous. You will need to know the trailer king pin type to select the proper Sidewinder Rotating Turret, because they are designed for each...

  • Hitch Recommendations for a 2014 Ram 3500 with Hitch Prep
    I spoke to my contact at Reese and you have a couple options. If you wanted to use your current hitch in your new truck you will need to upgrade the slider of it to the # RP50024. Or, if you have a short bed truck and need the slider for tight turns, or the slider kit # RP50024 and then use the adapter part # RP30154. Or, if you wanted to bypass the adapter totally you would have to use the # RP30918. No portion of your current hitch would be compatible with the leg kit # RP30864 that...

  • Fifth Wheel Install Bracket Kit and Install Hardware Recommendation for a 2014 Chevy 3500 Long Bed
    Sounds like you have what is now the 16k rated Reese Hitch part # RP30047. To install the 10 bolt rails you have all you would need is the part # RP30439 and part # RP58504. These two part numbers are everything you need to install the rails you have in the bed of your 2014 Chevy 3500 long bed. I attached installation instructions and an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Parts Needed To Add A 16K Sidewinder To A Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
    The 16K Sidewinder part # RP34FR is the best option for your trailer. If you have the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider # RP30051, these two parts will work together. I also recommend 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for Select Series Fifth Wheels # SWW-03. This 5th wheel wedge is a simple but reliable way to allow a 5th wheel hitch to be used with a 5th wheel Sidewinder pin box. Yes, it must stay in locked towing at all times, or you can switch to fixed legs part # RP30727.

  • Will the Reese Rail Kit Mounting Adapter work with a Ford OEM 5th Wheel Prep Kit and Reese Slider
    The Reese Mounting Adapter Rail Kit, # RP30156, will work with the Reese 18K square tube slider hitch, # RP30084, in the Ford tow prep kit that is in your 2012 F-450. Since you now have an 8 foot bed you will most likely have no need for the slider function of the # RP30084 hitch. This means you can just leave the hitch in the towing position all the time, or, if noise is an issue with the slider portion of the hitch, you can replace the slider unit with standard legs, # RP30727.

    Thanks for providing a picture of your base rails in your 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD. Based on your measurements of 10-inches and 20-1/2 inches hole to hole and 22-inches on the width, it looks like you have industry standard rails. These rails work with Curt, Valley, Draw-Tite, Hidden-Hitch and Reese base rails. I called our contact at Reese and they mentioned the 14,000 pound hitch would require needing 22-inches on center for spacing. This could be the reason why your friends 14,000...

    The Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider # RP30084 can be converted to work with an 8 foot bed. If you are sticking with Chevy for your dually, then you will most likely want the Replacement Base Legs for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30727 since you don't need the slider base and then Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 8' Bed - 21K # DM6206.

  • Compatibility of Custom Sidewinder or Revolution Pin Box Wedge on Reese Sidewinder Pin Box
    The 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for Select Series Fifth Wheels # SWW-03 is the correct fit for your Reese # RP30051 sliding 5th Wheel Hitch. It has the same head as the fixed # RP30047 so it will be the custom fit, you just need to make sure not to use the slider when connected to your trailer with a Sidewinder or Revolution pin box because it will put too much of the weight behind the rear axle and the pivot point being 22 inches back will never require that use. You may choose to replace...

  • Recommended Fixed Mount Hitch Compatible with Ram Pucks with Sidewinder Pin Box on Trailer
    For your new truck, I recommend changing out the legs of your hitch and utilizing the Sidewinder. This will not only give you better turning clearances, but will also make it easier to load and unload your hitch. You will use the Replacement Base Legs # RP30727. It sounds like you must already have the rail adapter from the factory pucks to the rails for that hitch, but if not you will use the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs # RP30154.
