  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for 2020 Chevy 3500HD LTZ with OEM Puck System
  • If you have a short bed truck, I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3775 because it is in my opinion the best quality hitch as well as designed to fit your factory pucks. If you have a long bed truck, then I recommend the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3710. There are Curt options for this fixed mount and your factory pucks that are good...

  • Which Curt Fifth Wheel Hitches Fit 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 with Factory Rail Kit
  • The GM factory fifth wheel rails kits are different sizes based on the length of the bed. So for a long bed the Curt Q25 part # C16069 that you referenced is the correct fit. If instead you have a short bed you'd need the slider equivalent part # C16546 and rail adapter part # C16023.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with Prep Package
  • The 5th wheel hitch I recommend for your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with the factory prep package is the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3715 (usually best for long beds) or part # BWRVK3775 (usually best for short beds). The B&W Companion is in a league of its own becuase it has a set of heavy duty 1" think dual steel locking jaws which do a phenomenal job of gripping the kingpin which makes for a very smooth ride with little to no chucking. The B&W Companion...

  • Best Gooseneck Hitch To Use Reese Goose Box 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 Short Bed
  • The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter like part # RP85FR is designed for use on long bed trucks. That said, it can be used on short bed trucks but you may then have limited turning clearance. The amount of turning clearance varies from trailer to trailer so measuring is a must. If you wish to use the Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter on a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 then the best option is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck...

  • Best Fixed Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500 Factory Rail Kit
  • B and W Companion hitches are considered by most of the RV industry to be the nicest fifth wheel hitch you can get. They are made in the US, they are very reliable, they last forever, and they provide a very solid king pin to hitch jaw contact. Curt hitches aren't terrible by any means, but if we are going to hear back from a customer on fifth wheel hitch issues it's most likely going to be a Curt hitch. Their jaw system doesn't seem as solid as the Companion and their hitch heads used...

  • High Capacity Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 with Reese Elite Rails
  • The Reese M5 fifth wheel hitches like the part # RP30895 only fit the GM factory fifth wheel rail kits, since you have a Reese Elite fifth wheel rail kit you'd have to go with an M5 fifth wheel hitch if you are in need of a new hitch. We have the Elite part # RP30922 that has a towing capacity of 27,000lbs which would be a great solution if the reason you want a new hitch is because you need more towing capacity. This will drop right into the pucks of your Reese underbed puck system.

  • Recommended Air Bags for 2016 Chevy 3500 with Below Bed 5th Wheel Rail Kit
  • For your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 with the Reese Under-Bed Rails # RP30868 installed, I recommend the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2709. These air helper springs are confirmed to fit your truck and fifth wheel rails for a no-drill installation. This is a really nice system that features a 7,500 pound capacity. Because the air bags can be adjusted manually, side to side, with individual inflation valves, you will be able to maintain an even load distribution regardless of...

  • Is the Camco Quick Hose Connect w/ Flow-Through Connection 20143 Safe for Drinking Water
  • The Camco Quick Hose Connect w/ Flow-Through Connection part # CAM20143 is not designed for potable water therefore, does not have an official NSF certificate. This fitting like most brass fittings will contain trace amounts of lead but whether or not this percentage is safe for a potable water supply is untested as this is not its intended purpose. Therefore, I do not recommend using the Camco Quick Hose Connect for drinking water. Instead, I recommend using the Camco Quick Hose Connect...

  • The Erickson Ratchet Tie-Down Strap with Web Clamp and Snap Hooks, part # EM58501 that you referenced, is suitable for your application to secure a vehicle to your flat car hauler trailer by its tow hooks, but we also offer shorter straps like their 7-foot Car Tie Down # 58503 which also has hooks on both ends. To use either of these you'll need tie-down hooks on the deck of the trailer. If you need D-Ring tie downs you can use # LRB1 from Brophy. If you prefer you can use 4 axle straps...

  • When Using a Reese Sidewinder Should Fifth Wheel Hitch Still Install in Same Spot in Truck Bed
  • Regardless of what pin box you end up using on your trailer you want to have the fifth wheel hitch still installed in the same location in the truck bed. You want to have it installed right above the rear axle in the truck bed or a couple inches forward of the rear axle. This allows the pin weight of the trailer to rest in the best location in the truck bed.

If you are not sure if your trailer has this package I recommend reaching out to Forest River as they will be able to list the exact options your trailer came with.

  • Are the Plastic Foot Pads of the B and W Companion Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W Required
  • The included foot pads of that come with the B and W Companion Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W are designed to be used regardless if there is corrugation on the truck bed or not. The shape of them does allow them to fit in corrugation if needed which is nice. If you weren't to use them the hitch wouldn't make contact with the truck bed to support the load of the trailer. The only contact point would be with the gooseneck ball. Since you don't have corrugation you will want to mount the pad with the...
