Is There Truck Bed Drilling to Install Reese Elite Fifth Wheel Rail Kit RP30128-26
Question:
part # RP30138-26, link on your web page reads Bolt-in, no-drill installation. However, do the 3inch holes in the bed need to be drilled with a hole saw to provide access to the puck holes in the Hitch Prep Kit ?

Expert Reply:
You are correct that there is truck bed drilling required to install the part # RP30138-26. I apologize for any confusion that caused. That is meant to indicate that there is no frame drilling to install the rail kit since that is much more difficult than through the bed and some consider truck bed drilling a given since a gooseneck ball has to come through it somehow.
