Availability of 10 Inch Extended Fifth Wheel Pin Box
Question:
Do you sell a PopUp Hitch RV5 5th Fifth Wheel RV Hitch Adapter Extender 10 inch or similar extension?
asked by: Wayne
Expert Reply:
The PopUp Hitch RV5 Extender adds 10 inches of extension, although we don't offer that part or anything identical, a Reese Sidewinder will add 22 inches of extension. If you click the provided link, you can see an FAQ article that explains how the Sidewinder works. There's also a listing of available Sidewinder models and which OEM pin boxes they replace.
A sliding fifth wheel hitch like the Reese # RP30051 would offer 10 inches of travel, but you wouldn't be able to drive the vehicle on the road while the hitch is stuck in its rear position, you'd only want to do that for low speed maneuvering. Either would be a viable option for a 6-foot bed truck, but the Sidewinder would provide more clearance and more convenience.
Your pin box should have a label on it somewhere listing the manufacturer and part number. Compare that to the list I linked to in order to see which Sidewinder model is compatible. To install an industry standard fifth wheel bed kit, use part # RP50140-58. If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector installed in your truck bed, you can install one using part # HM42137.
