Yes, there are currently 3 Reese M5 5th wheel hitches that will fit into the factory in bed hitch prep/puck system on your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD.

20,000LB Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP26FR

27,000LB Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP58FR

32,000LB Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP73FR

Be sure to use a Lube Plate # RP83001 with your pin box to make disconnecting and connecting easier as well as cut down on noise when turning. This will also ensure that you do not have to use grease on the mating surfaces that often will get all over you and attract dirt.

If your truck has a tonneau cover or you prefer not to have a handle that sticks up the Low Profile Handle # RP58553 can be installed.

Answer 5

There's an issue with the Reese M5 item #RP26FR that is easily fixed so it will be compatible with a tonneau cover. The handle that comes with the hitch sticks straight up for some reason. If you change it to the Low Profile Handle for Reese M5…

Answer 8

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

I've never heard of an actual third brake light connector on a camper shell to plug in on a truck and we don't carry any parts to do that. The light generally needs to be hardwired into the truck's brake light circuit. The issue with this…

Answer 10

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 you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…

What you're going to need is two of the transfer switches in that case. I have attached a diagram from Furrion that shows you how you're going to need to hook the two transfer switches #F30ATS up: -one to the other, then one branching off to…
