Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit for Reese Elite Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - RP30868

Average Customer Rating:  4.4 out of 5 stars   (41 Customer Reviews)

2017 Chevrolet 2500

I've been very happy with the Reese RP 30868 that allowed me to use the puck system on my 2017 Chevy 2500HD Duramax. It seems to be very sturdy and well built. I'm using it with a B&W Companion hitch that is easy to put in and take out with the puck setup. I would have given the RP 30868 5 stars if it would have had the GM base pattern. I'm using the Ford style base that works perfectly fine with it. I am and have a Happy Camper!

2017 Ram 3500

This was the deciding factor in purchasing my 2017 Chevrolet 3500. If I could not put my Companion 5th wheel in it, I would find a dually ford. I purchased the kit with the reassurance from customer service while at the dealership after they reassured me they could install it. I am extremely pleased with the look and the function of the product! Thank you!

E trailer is a great company to order from. The operator was very knowledgeable about the product and it shipped the same day I had it two days later. Also the video they had was great. The mount fit on my new Silverado perfectly it called for a four hour job however it only took three. I would definitely order from here again.



by:

This is a well made and engineered product. I really like how tight and rattle free the hitch is. Setup takes some time to get it just right, but worth the time. The down side is changes made to the kit in the past year or two. The instructions now state to drill some very oversized holes in the bed based off measurements. I find this method to be sloppy. The first kit I used included a pointed bolt. This bolt was installed from under the vehicle and tightened from the bottom to make a mark in the bed of the truck. This made drilling far more accurate and the holes in the bed could be much smaller. I will use this method over the new method. The results are a cleaner and more precise installation.

GREAT TIP!!!

I would like to let everyone know that this kit will not except a standard fifth wheel hitch. It will only fit the Elite hitch. (or another manufacturer with the same measurements). I missed this and had to buy an adapter to fit my hitch once i had it installed. Installation was no to difficult with a mechanical back ground and a shop to lift the box to slide the rails in. I think it would be more difficult for the back yard folks but not not impossible. Hope this helps to make your decision on your kit needed.



by:
2016 Chevrolet Silverado

I love this system, this is my second truck with it. it’s not terribly difficult to install either, as long as your comfortable drilling holes in your new truckbed, and have a huge torque wrench. Will purchase again when I get my next truck.

I installed this in a 2013 Denali SRW, and a 2016 Silverado 3500 DRW. And used a Demco autoslider with Ford factory pins. They work perfectly together.

I recently paid a local company to install the Under-Bed Rail kit on my GMC 2500HD. The total install time with wiring was 5 hrs. It is a beautiful set up. The only thing you see in the box are 4 rubber plugs where the B&W hitch clamps in. Great set up. The box is 100% useable.



by:

Product was easy to install and almost disappears when the 5th wheel hitch is removed. Once I installed these support rails I had a bed liner sprayed in. I can easily install and remove the hitch.

I ordered the frame mount over the internet via the web site. I found the web site to be very accurate to find the correct part to fit my truck. I received the product just three business days later. Upon receipt via UPS, the box was extensively damaged and open on the end. Upon opening, I found all of the hardware and a few of the pucks missing. I made a call the following morning to Etrailer to report the issue. Kevin was so understanding and willing to help with no issues, only wanting to get the order corrected.. He took the information I had and ask I send a few pictures of the damage. I sent them immediately as he said as soon as he got them he would get the replacemant parts in the mail. Three days later I received the missing parts via USPS and in excellent condition. This company is exceptional and are very customer oriented. I have ordered other products also and never been disappointed. Also I have found their prices to be very competitive! They have earned all of my business.

I have been extremely pleased with the under-bed rail kit for our 5th Wheel hitch. It is functioning as expected.

Chevrolet

After consulting with seller I decided on the under bed mount RP30868 for my 2017 Chevy 2500HD truck.
The how-to videos are SUPER helpful. the instructions were not very clear about measuring points but the etrailer video showed me exactly where to measure from.



by:
2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

The first box I got was missing parts, they shipped the missing parts fast and had no problems installing the hitch. Have ordered many things from etrailer and this was the first problem I had. Will do business with them again.



by:
2017 GMC Sierra 2500

It's a mounting kit for a fifth wheel hitch. Nothing sexy about it. Heavy duty, all parts accounted for. Great service from etrailer. Couldn't beat the price.

Hitch arrived on time and was completed. Installed 5th wheel today. Everything fit perfectly and am well pleased.

Disappointed that the product shipped with two bad nut/spacer assemblies that prevented me from installing it. The shipping box had been re-taped and the parts bag was open with nuts and washer scattered around the box. The welder burned through the nut when trying to attach it and deposited welding material on the threads. Received callback from customer support who are attempting to overnight two new parts.



by:

Easy to install. The quality of the material was really made well. The only thing was is that when it was shipped the Box was damaged and some of the parts were missing but you all were able to replace the parts as soon as possible and I appreciate it that

by:

Product was great customer service was great. Just had to ship 3 of them because every time pieces where missing from box being broke open during shipping.



by:

easy to install and went together perfect I would buy again if I was to need a new hitch.



by:

Works great. Looks clean. And allows full use of the bed of the truck

The frame brackets should have been different and bolted to the Factory holes would have made this job easy

Shipped fast ..great customer service...haven't installed yet so hopefully all fits as should

  • Recommended B&W Companion Hitch for a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 W/ Reese Under Bed Pucks
    Hey Robert, the B&W Companion # BWRVK3710 and # BWRVK3700 are the exact same thing. The only difference is that # BWRVK3710 fits the 2020-2026 GMC Sierra 2500/3500s, while # BWRVK3700 fits the 2016-2019 GMC Sierra 2500/3500s. So since the Reese # RP30868 is the same thing as the Ford OEM pucks, you're actually going to want to use the B&W # BWRVK3305 instead.

  • Underbed Fifth Wheel Rail System for 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 that's Most Versatile
    The Reese Elite underbed rail kit that fits your 2016 Chevy Silverado part # RP30868 is the most versatile option. It allows Reese puck style hitches to fit like the M20 part # RP30921 which is a really nice option and it also allows the fit of any Ford puck style hitch to fit. Like for example the really nice Companion hitch part # BWRVK3300. The reason for this is Reese designed the Ford underbed rail systems.

  • Is Reese Elite Fifth Wheel Rail Kit the Same as GM OEM Rail Kit
    The Reese Elite Series fifth wheel rail kit part # RP30868 that fits your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 is similar to the OEM rail kit your truck could have came with but it is not the exact same so hitches for the OEM rail kit of a GM truck would not fit this. But what is really interesting is this rail kit is the exact same as the Ford OEM rail kit since Reese makes the Ford rail kit so a hitch designed for the Ford rail kit would fit it. So if you wanted to use the very popular B and W Companion...

  • Fit of Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Rail Kit RP30868 in 2017 Silverado with Spray-In Bed Liner
    The Reese Elite Series Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP30868 does not provide any height adjustment to account for the thickness of a spray-in bed liner. However, the normal installation steps still apply for spray-in liners (and bed mats) up to 1/4-inch thick. Drop-in liners can require trimming to allow for proper hitch installation but your spray-in liner will be fine so long as it does not exceed the 1/4-inch thickness.

  • Rear of Cab Clearance Provided By Reese Elite # RP30144 Sliding 5th Wheel Hitch on 2015 Silverado
    Whether or not you'll be able to make 90 degree turns will depend on how wide your fifth wheel is at the front, and the distance between the rear axle centerline and the rear of the truck cab. You'll need to measure the distance from the rear of the truck cab, rearward to the rear axle centerline. This will be a very close approximation for where the king pin will sit in the hitch jaw, with the hitch fully slid forward. Then, add 10 inches to that distance, to represent the 10 inches of...

  • Under Bed 5th Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500
    For your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 that does not have the OEM rail kit installed in it you can install the Reese Elite rail kit part # RP30868 and you'd have an underbed system that is compatible with all of the Ford rail kit hitches like the Reese Elite Slider part # RP30144 or the B and W Companion fixed hitch for Ford rail kits # BWRVK3300. This is because Reese actually designed the Ford OEM rail kits. If you were wanting an under-bed rail kit with the easiest transferability (I think...

  • Can Demco Hijacker Autoslide for Ford Rail Kit Fit 2012 GMC Sierra
    If you had the Demco Hijacker for Ford puck systems part # DM8550038 you could use the Reese Elite Rail kit part # RP30868 to install it in the bed of your 2012 GMC Sierra as this fits both your truck and the hitch since the Ford OEM rail kits are the same as the Reese Elite rail kit. Then to convert it to a gooseneck hitch as well you'd just need the part # RP30158 and you'd be set.
