Question:
My hitch came with this 04 camper. The only #s I can see on this Reece hitch is, DCFJ44K4, or 55520-6. The tab that holds the trunion bars in 1 broke off, Can you tell what replacement head would be compatible. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
The head and spring bars that you are referencing have not been in production for about 30 years. Reese no longer carries replacement parts for for your system. I would recommend replacing your head with the Reese # RP58167 head unit and for spring bars I recommend the Reese # RP66009 replacement spring bar with 1200 pounds of tongue weight capacity. These together will get you updated to new parts that you can depend upon.
