Question:
Is there a standard dimension between the Rails for a 5th wheel hitch?
asked by: Greg
Expert Reply:
On the Reese Fifth Wheel Universal Installation Kit, # RP30035, the standard dimension between the base rails is 22 inches on center apart. The measurement that is used to install the universal base rails is from the rear edge of truck bed to the rear edge of the base rail closest to the rear edge of truck.
When installing the universal base rails you will want to install the rear rail using the measurements in the instructions for your particular vehicle. Then, with the rear base rail installed to the truck bed, you will put the fifth wheel hitch in the rear rail on the truck bed. Then, you will put the front rail on the fifth wheel hitch and sit in the truck bed to mark where to attach the front base rail. This will give you the correct location for installing the base rails.
I will send you a link to the installation instructions on the Reese Fifth Wheel Universal Installation Kit, # RP30035. It will list the different trucks and the measurements for that particular truck for installation of the base rails.
