Question:
Will the head of Reese 5th wheel hitch #30862 fit onto the slide of Reese hitch #30051? I have the square tube slide but want to upgrade from 16k to 20k. My hitch is the wide stance with the standard rails.

Expert Reply:
In order to upgrade your Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider part # RP30051 to a 20,000 lb capacity you are going to want to use the Double Pivot 20K Head and Head Support part # 30118 which will fit perfectly onto the Reese Square Tube Slider part # RP30048 that you have now.
The head of the now discontinued Pro Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part 30862 is not available separately.
