- Compatability of Fifth Wheel Hitch in Reese Rails on a 2003 Ford
- Your RBW 15,000 pound hitch should fit in the Reese rails unless they are installed improperly. When the hitch was installed on the F-550 it may have been tightened down with the gooseneck adapter installed and the rails are just out of position for your fifth-wheel hitch. If the hitch you have is not fitting by a small amount I would try to loosen the mounting bolts on the rails and then install the fifth-wheel hitch. After you have the hitch installed you can then re-tighten the mounting...

- To solve the problem of the dirty connections you can clean them, then use dielectric grease at the connections, # 11755, and then seal everything up using liquid electrical tape, # SWC50122.
Another option is to replace the 4-Way you are using with either # C56031 for a non-stepside bed or # C55344 for a stepside bed. These connectors actually plug in line with the tail light wiring so you will not have to use quick splice connectors.

- A proportional brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885, will use an inertia sensor to activate the trailer brakes. It senses deceleration and generates an output that is based on deceleration, thus the term proportional braking. In the instructions for the Prodigy P2 brake controller it mentions to NOT mount or activate RF generating items (cell phones, two way radios) near (less than 12 inches) the brake controller.

- Tonneau covers and ladder racks can be compatible with each other when they do not use the same mounting points on the truck bed rails. Both tonneau covers and ladder racks can mount either inside the bed rails or on top of them.
As an example, the TracRac SR sliding ladder racks like # TH43002XT-501 mount on top of the bed rails so they will work with tonneau covers like Tonno Pro soft roll-up cover # TPLR-3080 which installs inside the bed rails.

- My first suggestion would be to contact your Jayco in order to determine if they recommend using a hitch on the rear of your 2005 Jayco JayFeather M-19H. You will want to provide them with your VIN for the most accurate information. If they ok the use of a hitch, ask them for the recommended weight capacity. This will be the maximum amount of weight that can be safely hauled on the back of the trailer.
A couple measurements will need to be taken in order to see if the Adjustable Width...

- Thanks for the photo and based on that we do have a replacement that will work for you although you are going to need to know what your gray water pipe and black water pipe connections are - either spigot or hub - which I'll explain but you are going to need to remove your valve to find this out.

- I don't know why another site has it listed out that way (it could just be the package dimensions), but what I can say is that the Westin E-Series Round Nerf Bars # 23-1435 we have here at etrailer.com look to be the same length as what you have.
