Upgrading Pro Series 16,000 lb 5th Wheel Hitch To 20,000 lb Capacity
Question:
I have a Pro Series 16K fifth wheel hitch....I am in the process of trading campers and will be going over 16000 rated weight ...can I convert my hitch to a 20K and if so what parts will I need.....do these two hitches use the same rails, legs, etc.

Expert Reply:
Your Pro Series 16K 5th wheel hitch can convert to the 20,000 lb capacity using the Replacement Double Pivot 20K Head and Head Support # 30118.
If you want to consider the entirely new hitch, you will want to compare to Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # RP30928 which isn't a huge price difference.
