The Replacement Puck Plug Covers for Elite and Signature Series Fifth Wheel Rails # 58199 you mention are the OEM replacement puck plugs.

We've had customers let us know that the Reese puck covers #58199 that you referenced worked great to cover the pucks or their GM rail kit like what you have in your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500HD.

The OEM prep package consists of 4 "pucks" in the bed of the truck that will allow you to drop in puck style hitches for easy installation and removal, that gives you a completely clear bed when not in use. The B&W Companion OEM 5th…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
