Can a Fixed Reese Elite 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head be Used on a Square Tube Slider Base
Question:
I currently have RP30142 hitch. I am interested in the sliding hitch RP30084 Can I use the hitch head that I have now? Also can I use the center section that I have now? In other words can I purchase the just the sliding legs and the cross member piece?

The slider base is not available as a separate part for the Reese Elite Series 5th wheel trailer hitches. To get a slider you would have to replace the whole hitch.
The only major replacement part offered for the slider version is the head and it is only rated up to 18,000 pounds.
The Elite Series head and center sections do not fit on the slider based used with hitch # RP30084. To save some money I assume you would sell the Elite hitch but we also have a lower cost 20K slider, # PS30121, that would save you some money as well.
