- Does Reese Outboard Fifth Wheel Rail Kit # RP56007-53 Fit 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500
- The outboard Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP56007-53 that you have is the correct kit for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500. The instructions you have have an outdated year range listed but the kit definitely fits your truck.
I attached a link to an install video that shows this kit installed on a similar 2015 Silverado as yours.
view full answer... - Is 8 inches From Bottom of Weight Distribution System to Ground Enough Clearance
- Eight inches from the ground to the bottom of your weight distribution shank would be fine for most situations but like you've experienced turning into inclined driveways can cause it to drag. Your trailer must sit pretty low to call for your shank setup to sit that low. It might be worth looking into raising your trailer suspension so that your shank settings could be a bit higher.

- While there is not a hitch that is a fit for a 2003 Workhorse W-Series Chassis you may still be able to flat tow your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1400 Double Cab as yours may be under the 5,000 lb curb weight, though you should verify this before attempting to tow it.

- Yes, the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails part # RP50064-58 is exactly what you need to use the Reese 15K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch 30046 on your 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. However, according to my research the Reese 15K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch 30046 is a fixed 5th wheel hitch and since you have a short bed truck, you will need to use a sliding hitch to obtain sufficient clearance for sharp, 90 degree turns unless you are also using a rotating pin box or your...
view full answer... - Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 6,400 lbs Trailer
- The best weight distribution system for a 6,400 lbs trailer is going to be the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37100ET. Weight distribution systems are recommended off of tongue weight which is typically 10% - 15% of your trailer's total weight. This would put yours somewhere between 640 lbs and 960 lbs. The item # EQ37100ET system has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,000 lbs so it would be perfect.
This system includes a 2" shank and a 2-5/16"...

- All of the Ark Trailer Jacks are bolt on. For one with a tongue weight rating around 1,000 lbs you will want the Xtreme Off-Road Swing-Up Jack w/ Dual Wheels item # ORJW500D. This has an 1,100 lbs capacity and will give you up to 10-3/4" lift.
I have linked a review video below.

- So I actually reached out to ASA about this to see if they had any insight. My contact did say that they see this from time to time with their AC units like the Advent Air # ACCOL150 you mentioned when the RV/camper's roof has a slight curve to it or maybe is flat but just a bit thicker than normal.
The included hardware is designed for the standard, flat RV roof - but as you have discovered, not everything in life is "standard". Those bolts are 1/4 - 20 x 7" serrated flange head bolts,...

- The 2" Hitch Ball part # EH68C-C is made overseas but we do have a made in the USA hitch ball option for you, the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set part # 904B which gives you both 2" and 2-5/16" options. The majority of the trailer hitch balls are all made overseas.

- Standard interior panel thicknesses will work great with the Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob # 331-TPSI-003. The panel you are planning to install this on I am sure is totally fine since it was designed for holding the integrated controller of the 2015 Chevy Silverado. We had a customer come back and send us a picture of this used on a similar 2014 GMC Sierra and they said it fit and worked well. I attached a photo. Redarc does not have a minimum...

- Bob, The CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM10950 add about 4.5" of length onto your factory mirror to help you see around the cargo trailer. The mirror angle is adjustable as well so you can set it up for the best visibility for your trailer to eliminate blind spots and keep you safe on the road. We have had customers say these mirrors made it easier to see around their longer trailers. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
However, your best option is a pair of extendable...

- I did some research and you do not have much clearance in the wheel well. As a result, you will need a Class S compatible snow tire chain. It is designed to fit tires that do have tight tolerances. Your owner's manual mentions that you can cause damage to your braking system and suspension if you use snow tire chains that are too big. My recommendation is the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - XG12 Pro - Size 267, part # TH01594267.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Lighting That Stopped Working
- The issue is on the truck side of the wiring and not your trailer. Most likely the problem is something simple like corrosion on the pins of the trailer connector as that's the most common reason for trailer lighting issues. Take some sandpaper to the pins of the connector.
I also attached a help article on trailer wiring for you to check out as well.

- Wow, you've really done a thorough job at testing the functioning of the Curt TriFlex # C24VV and Wiring Adapter # C51451 on your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500.
The only other thing I can think to do is check the 7-Way on the back of your pickup. If the pins are corroded or the wiring is messed up inside the 7-Way connector then that would explain why you're getting the OL code. It's possible that some wires are crossing which would also explain why your brake lights are remaining on until...

view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the Blue Ox BXW0550 and BXW0553
- They do look similar but the # BXW0550 is designed for standard trailer couplers and the # BXW0553 is designed for underslung couplers. In order to make sure this will work for your trailer you'll want to make sure your tongue weight falls between 350-lbs and 550-lbs, has trailer frame height between 3" and 6" and up to 2-5/8" wide. It sounds like your frame is 4" x 4", so you wouldn't want to use the included clamp on chain hangers. Instead of the clamp on hangers you could either use...
