• Left Jack Error On Touch Pad Screen Of Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel
• It sounds like you have either a left front jack, left middle jack, or left right jack error on the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel part # LC358590 . This is caused by a wiring interruption. First check the harness connections at the controller and at the jack are not loose. Check the harness for damage and the fuses in the controller are okay. I have attached a snip from the instructions that shows how to reset the jacks.

• What 5th Wheel Hitches Are Confirmed to Fit My 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

• Best Cover for a 2022 Flagstaff Super Lite 29 RBS
• From what I could find, the 2022 Flagstaff Super Lite 29RBS is 35' 2" long which would make the Adco SFS AquaShed Cover for Travel Trailer # 290-52246 too short for you. I recommend the Adco Olefin HD All-Climate + Wind RV Cover for Travel Trailer # AD39ZR. The Olefin HD travel trailer cover works great for long-term storage in all climates. The heavy-duty fabric protects against rain, dirt, wind, and sun and the contoured fit matches the shape of your trailer. It will secure with cinch...

• Does B&W Companion Slider for 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 w/ Pucks Require Leaving Truck to Activate
• In order to make sharp turns on a short bed truck like your 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the puck system, most sliding hitches do require you to get out of the truck to activate the slide, including the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3775. There is one option that does not require you to do that, however, which is the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch. The hitch slides automatically so you never have to leave the cab of your truck to make a tight turn. It really is...

• I do have a way for you to figure out if you can use the B&W Companion # BWRVK3715 for your short bed 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the puck system, but it will require you to do some measuring and math on your end. The first thing is to figure out where exactly your king pin will be located. If you check out the attached cutout of the instructions for the Companion you can see that the king pin will either be 1.5" or 3.5" behind the axle depending on how you install the pivot legs -...

• Is A Rotating Pin Box Needed When Towing A 5th Wheel With A 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 6-3/4' Bed
• I always recommend either a sliding 5th wheel hitch or a rotating pin box for any truck with a smaller bed than 8' to prevent the nose of the trailer from coming into contact with the cab of the truck. To swap out your standard pin box with a rotating pin box you'll need to know the bolt pattern and weight capacity of your current pin box and then can find a matching rotating pin box. For example the 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder and Turret # RP61422 has...

• Is B&W Companion a Good Replacement for the Demco Recon 5th wheel Hitch on a 2021 Chevy Silverado
• If you've torqued the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 to specs and it is rotating on you then it wouldn't be a bad idea to swap out to a 5th wheel hitch that installs using the puck system instead as it would attached to 4 points instead of 1 point. If you are installing it to specs please let me know and I can see if my contact at Demco has any pointers or things to double check on this. It's really hard to beat the B&W Companion for 5th wheel towing...

• Reese Base Rail Installation Kit For A 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500
• With Reese's recent buyout (2023) some of their parts are bit hard to come by during the transition, with rail kits being one of the affected items. We do still have the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # RP30035 in stock, but these are universal fit brackets which require quite a bit of drilling into the frame. Personally, I would switch to the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC # C16411-204 to have custom-fit brackets that will match up to the factory...

• Will Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Hitch from a 2014 Ford Fit a 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 Factory Pucks
• No, the Chevy/GMC factory prep package pucks are spaced differently than those on the 2014 Ford F-350 so your existing hitch, # RP30921, will not fit. There are several hitches that will fit directly though and I have included a link to them for you. Curt hitch # C16520-16025 is one of the hitches that you can use but there are others, see link. Most of the hitches that are available are Curt hitches because Curt makes the under bed factory kit for GM. But there is a B&W option as well,...

• Can the Demco Hijacker DM8550034 Fit a Silverado 5.8’ Bed?
• The Demco Hijacker # DM8550034 should not be used on beds shorter than 6 feet long. This is due to the the bed not being long enough for this slider to slide back without the trailer pin box hitting the tailgate. However, we do still have a sliding option available for the 5.8 foot bed on your Silverado. You will want to look at the Demco Hijacker Autoslide # DM8550040. This 13,000 pound capacity hitch is specifically designed for use with the the beds that are under 6 feet and will still...

• Can Non-Wireless Air Lift Compressor get Converted to Wireless
• Air Lift doesn't offer an upgrade kit for their wired compressors to get converted to wireless, as the compressors used on a non-wireless compressor kit aren't compatible with the wireless system. To upgrade to a wireless system that would use your smart phone, you'll need the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs, part # AL25980EZ. Or for a one with a wireless remote part # AL74000.
