Expert Answers about Fifth Wheel Hitch

• Installing a 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2004 Ford F-250 With a B and W Gooseneck Hitch
• I have a few solutions for you, however, a gooseneck hitch and a fifth wheel hitch will not typically fit together on a truck. The frame brackets of the gooseneck hitch or fifth wheel hitch will interfere with the frame brackets from the other hitch. This would be the case on your truck if you tried to install the Reese Universal Fifth Wheel Install Kit, # RP30035, that you referenced. The frame brackets for your B and W gooseneck hitch will prevent the frame brackets from fifth wheel base...

• Fifth Wheel Rail Kit for Curt Q24 Fifth Wheel Hitch in 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

• 5th Wheel Installation Kit Recommendation for a 2014 Ram 2500 and a Reese 16K Hitch
• To install fifth wheel base rails on your 2014 Ram 2500 without the factory fifth wheel package, you can use the Curt Custom Installation Kit, # C16427-204 or # C16427-104. The only difference between these two kits is the finish of the base rails. Install kit # C16427-204 has carbide (matte) finish rails and install kit # C16427-104 has gloss finish rails. The base rails included in these kits are compatible with your Reese 16K sliding fifth wheel hitch, so there will be no compatibility...

• Installing Rail Mounted Fifth Wheel Hitch on 2014 Ford F350 Equipped with OEM 5th Wheel Prep Package
• If you have the OEM fifth wheel prep package in your 2014 Ford F350, with the 4 mounting pucks in the truck bed, you'd need an adapter, part # RP30156.

I've provided some photos for you that shows how the adapter mounts to the pucks and the fifth wheel hitch mounts to the adapter. If by 'factory wiring' you're speaking of a 7-way mounted...

• Larger Hitch Option for a B&W Companion Gooseneck Hitch
• Since there is not a higher capacity Companion that is available for the Turnoverball, your best option is to instead use the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches # DM6140 which will drop into the Turnoverball hitch hole, and will serve as an excellent mounting point for a bigger hitch like the Curt Q25 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16265.

• I Need a 24K 5th Wheel Hitch for a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 with a B&W Gooseneck Hitch
• I may have a solution that will work for you, but there are no fifth wheel hitches compatible with the B&W gooseneck hitch with a weight capacity over 20,000 lbs. If you did not want to completely remove the gooseneck hitch, then you could use a fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck coupler adapter like the Ranch Hitch Adapter, # AM3100. This adapter bolts to the underside of the pin box on your trailer at the king pin and hooks directly to the gooseneck ball. We actually use an adapter similar to this...

• Converting a 2015 Ford F-350 with Gooseneck Hitch to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer
• Gooseneck and fifth wheel hitches are for the most part separate hitches. The exception is the factory system available on trucks as an option, but this is directly from the factory and not an aftermarket product. There is the Reese Elite that you mentioned, part # RP30126, that's an aftermarket puck system very similar to the factory system. It even has a goosneck head, part # RP30138, that can be added to have both hitches. But there aren't any universal puck systems that can be added...

• Is a 5th Wheel Slider Hitch Needed on a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 With 6-1/2 ft Bed With Sidewinder
• The Reese Sidewinder on your 31 ft. Rockwood fifth wheel trailer eliminates the need for a sliding fifth wheel hitch. Slider hitches are typically recommended for trucks with beds between 6 ft and 8 ft, but the sliding feature should only be used with standard fifth wheel pin boxes, not sidewinders. You want to keep the tongue weight of the trailer as close to the rear axle as possible at all times and sidewinder and sliding hitches are both designed to extend the trailer rearward to...
