Will the Reese 20K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30928 Fit in RBW Lil Rocker Rails

Question:

WILL THE 20K HITCH FIT THE RAILS OF THE RBW 15K LIL ROCKER. I ASKED THE SAME QUESTION YESTERDAY CONCERNING THE 16K HITCH BUT MY TRAILERS DRY WT. IS 12,000 lbs and I think that the 18K is a better match. Thanks again

There is only one set of tab holes in the Lil Rocker rails, so the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20,000 lbs, item # RP30928, may fit if those tab holes are spaced at 20-1/2 inches on center.

You will need to consult RBW to see if the RBW rails and installation kit are rated to handle the weight capacity that you require of them, with a 20K Reese hitch installed.

The safest recommendation is to use the Reese installation kit and rails, like the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt, item # RP30035, to install the Reese hitch. This way you know that all of the parts have been designed to work together safely and will handle the capacity of the lowest rated item which in this case would either be your truck or the 20,000 pounds that the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, item # RP30928, is rated for.

If you would like to send me the year, make, and model of your truck I would be glad to recommend a custom installation kit with rails for your vehicle that eases installation and saves dramatically on installation time.
