Ask the Experts about this 5th Wheel Hitch

• Will Curt Fixed Fifth Wheel Hitch Work with Demco Rail Kit Adapter and Reese Revolution Pin Box
  
• Hey Carl, yes the Curt E16 hitch part # C16115 does work with the Demco rail kit adapter and a Reese Revolution pin box but due to it's loose jaw design it would not be my first choice. Instead I would recommend the Curt A16 part # C16120 which also fits both the rail adapter and pin box, has the same height range as the E16 but has a much nicer jaw design so it will be a lot quieter.

• Will the Curt A16 5th Wheel Hitch Fit Same Rails as Curt A20 5th Wheel Hitch
  
• Yes, the Curt E-Series like part # C16115 fit the same base rails as the Curt A-Series like part # C16140 so you can switch between the two without issue. The old base rails will stay attached to the truck bed and you'd simply just swap out the hitch for one another.

• Recommended 5th-Wheel Hitch that is Easily Removed on 2014 Ram 1500
  
• Choosing the right 5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch for your 2014 Ram 1500 will depend first on the weight of the trailer you plan on towing. You will want to make sure the truck and hitch have weight capacities that exceed the trailer's loaded weight. Since your Ram 1500 has a short 5-1/2 foot bed, the safest way to tow a trailer is to use a stationary 5th-wheel hitch and replace the pin box on the trailer with a Sidewinder, if it does not have one already. The Sidewinder will be required to

• Distance Between Bed Rails for Installation of Curt E5 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch
  
• Do you know who manufactured your existing bed rails? The Curt E5 16K Fifth Wheel Hitch you referenced, part # C16115 are compatible with universal rails manufactured by Reese, Curt and Valley. A universal rail will have three mounting slots on each side of the rail, as shown in the photo with dimensions I have linked to.

• Best Sidewinder Wedge Kit Fit for the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
  
• I reached out to my contact at Curt and they advised me that once you actually bolt the Sidewinder Wedge # C16991 on the Sidewinder there should not be any wiggle room. The Sidewinder Wedge Kit for Curt E-16K Fifth Wheel Hitch # RP64FR will provide the same fit as the # C16991. I recommend using the # C16991 or the # RP64FR instead of the Universal Wedge because they are specifically made for the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch.

• Upgrading From Curt E16 to A16 on Ram 2500

The A16 replacement head is the # C16520 and you will also need the head mounting hardware # C35UR.

• Can I Tow A Grand Design Reflection 303RLS With A 2018 Chevy 2500 HD?
  
• Yes, I believe you can tow a Grand Design Reflection 303RLS with your 2018 Chevy 2500 HD. With the 5th wheel towing limit of 13,500, you will be below capacity, even with the camper fully loaded. A fifth wheel hitch like the Curt E16 # C16115 will have sufficient capacity to tow your camper. I will say that the E16 is more of a budget option, and if you plan to tow frequently I recommend upgrading to a Curt A16 hitch like the # C16120. This will have much smoother head rotation, and

For your 2000 F-250 you would have to use the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # BWRVR3200 to stay with B&W rails and under bed brackets. These underbed brackets are universal so you will have to drill the frame to use this kit. The Curt # C16443-204 rails are custom fit so you will not have to drill your frame.

• Recommended 5th Wheel Rail Kit For 2003 Ford F-250

• Where do the Spacers Install, Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16443-204 2003 Ford F-350
  
• The square spacers go between the rails and the truck bed where the bolts go through that attach to the nuts on the under side of the bed. They should be placed in the lower corrugation in the bed. Sometimes, a hole for the bolt has to be drilled in the side of one of the raised corrugations. In this case, you can use an angle grinder and trim the spacer at a 45 degree angle so that it will fit. So you would have a bolt going through the rail, then the spacer (which is between the rail
