Will the Reese Slider Hitch # RP30051 Replace a Non Sliding Reese Hitch
Question:
I have a Reese 16000 non-sliding hitch in my truck, and although my trailer is designed with turn cutouts, Ive managed to dent the corner of my cab during a tight maneuver. Id like to get a slider and can you tell me if it will right into the existing rails in my truck?

Expert Reply:
Sounds like you have a Reese 16k fifth wheel hitch installed currently in the bed of your truck that does not have a slider. The part # RP30051 would fit the same rails that you have in your bed and would work well.
This hitch will provide you with 10 inches of additional clearance for making turns.
