Installation was very straight forward.
I
used some left over pieces of foam pipe insulation over the cable where it passed over the truck frame and th inner wheel well. I mounted the extended Seven Pin connector just forward of the wheel well just below the bed rail on the driver's side.
The umbilical from our 5th wheel reaches with enough slack to lay on the truck bed.
We picked up our Escape 5.0TA two weeks ago and drove about 3300 miles from WA to MI.
The plug was easy to plug in and unplug.
Overall a very nice product.

@Ronald That's awesome! Thanks for the feedback!


by:

Worked great, I traded the vehicle that I installed the wiring adapter in tho. So it may be of use to someone else also.



by:

Initially worked great, but now it keeps losing connection to the camper. I had to plug the camper in to the 7 way on the bumper to get home. Everything would seem fine but then getting on the highway I'd get a warning message on the dash and lose lights/trailer brakes. Not something you want happening at 70mph.

Truly happy with this product and can't wait to go to work! etrailer sent me everything I requested and the installer had no problems. Everything was packed well in shipping with no problems.

Product arrived overnight and I installed it upon arrival in order to be able to leave on a planned trip. Install was quick and easy and product was as advertised. I appreciated etrailer getting the order out immediately to me. Top rate company.

This product makes it so simple to add a Fifth wheel plug into the bed. Installation takes maybe 20-30 minutes. I installed mine on the column at the tailgate so it is out of the way (less likely to get damaged by other cargo). The only issue I experienced with install was that due to the small opening in that column (from under the vehicle), I had to remove the gray wire cover and then reinstall it after feeding the wire harness up into the column. (This was minor) Would definitely recommend this as it is simply "plug n play" with no cutting of wires or crimping needed.

Very pleased with etrailer.com. All product information and reviews help make decision very easy. Very quick delivery and installation instructions are very easy to follow. Purchased 5th wheel hitch and custom wiring extension for my 2014 F250.

Thanks for the follow up. I’ve enjoyed the products ease of installation and use. I easily hook up my 5th wheel camper by myself and have had no issues. Great products!

Delivery was ahead of schedule. The product is top grade. I installed it myself which took all 45 minutes. Tested it on the trailer and everything worked perfectly.

Plug and play. Works great.

The products have worked flawlessly no problems and thank you for checking back with me its nice when a company cares about there costumers. Next time I need any trailer products I will definitely be contacting etrailer.

The trailer wiring extension worked perfectly for my 2013 2500HD setup. It was easy to install and makes hooking up and trailering that much easier.

Nice long wiring harness.

Awesome product fit the truck just like it should and very easy to install keeps me from scratching the tailgate with a wire over the back of the truck easy to reach when hooking up trailer



by:

Working very well yet!

Easy install and a great product. Used on 5th wheel rv trailer. No more wiring cord from trailer hanging over the end gate. Thanks!



by:

Went on in minutes



by:

Looks like an easy install good quality



by:

Customer service for product selection and order entry were excellent and focused on my interests and needs. The hitch, custom installation kit, and harness were shipped very quickly and arrived sooner than expected. Everything arrived in excellent condition. Assembly and installation instructions were very clear and specific, and I was able to assemble and install everything with no problems and in a very reasonable amount of time. Total cost was roughly half of what it would have been if I had purchased the products and had them installed by a dealer. I am very satisfied with my experience dealing with etrailer.com, and would highly recommend them to anyone shopping for towing products.

This is an easy install and seems well made. I probably didn’t need the 10’ long my truck called for but no problem zip tying up out of the way. Well pleased.



by:

I'm a huge fan of completing wiring projects with no "hacking" into harnesses. This harness is plug and play. When I finished installing it, the underside of the truck looks like it came from the factory. Job done

I havent thought about it for a year. I can give no higher praise for a product.it does its job very well.



by:

It worked exactly as it should. I did mess up on the hole location. I put it to hight and didn't allow for the depth. I had to make a 1/4" spacer to fill the gap.. my mistake.



by:
2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty

I haven't installed it yet, however, I cut the inside bed wall in preparation for a spray-in bed liner before installing.
It looks just like the picture and description, arrived undamaged and ready for install. Great installation instructions!

Still using and I really like the hitch and other items I purchased a year ago. After installing the Curt fifth wheel hitch, Ive used it several times and I will be using it a bunch over rbe next several weeks. Easy to maintain and use.



by:

It was exactly what I was looking for, perfect length this saved a lot of time.



by:

Worked perfect. Unfortunately 1 yr later at the bumper location (where the splitter is installed) I don't have reverse lights on my trailer. They still work from the new mount in the box, just not from the bumper location. It's possible it never worked from the beginning, as I didn't have a trailer with reverse light at the time, but I do now and they don't work... I understand I'm just outside of the 1yr warranty period too. My fault for not checking right away.



by:

This wiring harness made adding a plug in the bed of the truck for the gooseneck trailer a breeze. I didn’t really need the 10’ harness but I just looped and zip tied the excess. One year later and the plug still works great.

  • Parts Needed for Reese 5th Wheel Hitch Installation in 2015 Ford F-250 Long Bed
    To mount a 5th wheel hitch like the Reese 16K Slider # RP30051 in your F-250 long bed you will need an installation kit. Note that for 8-foot beds sliding hitches are not usually required but can still be used if desired if kept in the forward position. For a fixed Reese 16K hitch you might instead consider # RP30047. The easiest installation kit is a custom type that will require less drilling. If your F-250 does not have the factory rail kit you can use Reese install kit # RP50026-58....

    Yes, you can install the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # RP30047 to your 2020 Ram 2500 short bed crew cab. You will need the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit item # RP56009-53. This kit is custom fit and provides you with a set of industry standard rails to mount your Reese 5th wheel hitch on. I have linked an installation video below.

    Curt Double Lock Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C607-604 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 dually long bed. The linked video shows installation in a 2013 Sierra. This hitch is compatible with Curt's accessories like their X5 5th Wheel Adapter # C16210 and their 4-Inch Offset Ball # C602. If you also need a wiring harness for the truck you can use part # C56000.

  • Sealing Truck Bed Liner After Its Trimmed for Installation of Fifth Wheel Hitch
    It would be a good idea to prevent water from getting between the liner and the truck bed, but sealing that gap will be difficult to accomplish since a drop in liner usually isn't connected directly to the floor of the truck bed. If you can come up with a way to effectively seal the openings, by all means, do so. If you don't already have one, you might be interested in a 7-way trailer connector for your truck bed. You can install one using part # C56000.

For a trailer brake controller I suggest the highly-reliable Prodigy P3 # 90195 along with the quick-connect install harness # 3016 which plugs in under the dash.

    The 7-way on your Toyota Tundra can be replaced with the Replacement Multi-Plug 7-Way and 4 Pole Trailer Connector # 20137 to give you both the 7-way and 4-way functions. Your other option is to add a 7-way to the bed of your truck for your camper connection using the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness 7-Pole # C56000. You will be able to use them simultaneously.

This puck system takes a purpose-built 5th wheel hitch like the outstanding 20K-rated B&W Companion # BWRVK3300, which drops right in for towing and comes right out when you need full bed access.

  • Can a B&W Companion Hitch for a Turnover Ball System Work w a Lippert 1621 HD Pin Box?
    Yes, it will. The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3400 or the fixed Companion item # BWRVK3500 are compatible with all 5th wheel pin boxes. The only thing you can't do is use them with the turning function of a rotating pin box since you're using a Turnover ball system. It puts too much torque on the square receiver. If you lock this function out it will work fine. To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck...

Based on the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset - 12" to 16" Tall # CAB-C5GX1216 you asked from, I assume you may already have a gooseneck hitch.

  • Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer with a Gooseneck Hitch
    The Convert-A-Ball Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 is rated for trailers up to 20,000 pounds. However, some trailer manufacturers void the trailer's warranty when this type of adapter is used because of the amount of stress on the frame. If you don't need the gooseneck hitch in your truck I recommend removing it and installing fifth wheel hitch bracket and rails. For a bracket kit to fit your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 you can use the Reese # RP56001-53. If you'd like to add a 7-way trailer...

    The Demco # DM8550045 Recon is fully compatible with the B&W # BWGNRK1320 Turnover Ball hitch, but it probably won't offer enough clearance between the front of the 5th wheel loft and the back of the truck cab, unless the front of your 5th wheel has the dished-in concave corners. Otherwise, you'll want to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch. B&W offers a sliding model of their excellent Companion 5th wheel hitch as part # BWRVK3400 which would allow proper clearance during turns.

The B&W Companion is as rugged as they come, using a 1 inch thick jaw that holds the fifth wheel king pin incredibly tightly. This leads to comfortable ride, without almost all of the clanging and banging usually experienced.

    Sliding 5th wheel hitches are recommended for towing with a short-bed pickup like your 2012 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Series with 6-1/2-foot bed. Sliding hitches from B&W and Demco are the ones I most often recommend because of their build quality (both are made here in the USA). Their products cost more because they are worth more. They are beautifully made products that inspire confidence, potential sticker shock notwithstanding. Although you state your trailer will not ever be loaded up to...

    Yes, your 2017 Ford F-350 Diesel has a GVWR of 9,900-11,500 lbs and a GAWR at the rear of 6340 lbs and 5250 lbs at the front. The GCWR is 28700 lbs, so with your 5th wheel trailer tow capacity between 20,600 and 21,500 lbs, you are well within your ratings to tow a Montana High Country 5th Wheel. For a 5th wheel hitch if you have the factory prep package, I recommend the Curt Q24 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Ford OEM Legs - Dual Jaw - 24,000 lbs # C16545-16017. If you don't have the...

Also, since this truck has an 8-ft bed you will have excellent turning clearance when making your low-speed maneuvers. For a fixed 5th wheel hitch I suggest the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115. The installation kit # C16424-204 includes custom brackets for reduced install time.

I recommend the Reese, part # RP30051. This hitch features a slider and a dual-jaw system.
