No, the components of 5th wheel hitches from different manufacturers are not compatible. One of the major issues is that the parts are not tested together so it voids the warranty on both products and makes the capacity unknown even if the parts could physically fit each other which they can't.

Reese has 2 slider bases that could potentially work depending on which Reese hitch you have. There is the square tube slider # RP30048 and the round tube slider # RP50024.
