There are 2 different options for you to convert your 5th wheel hitch to a sliding 5th wheel hitch. You can use either the Reese Square Tube Slider # RP30048 or the Reese Round Tube Slider # RP50024 with your Reese 5th Wheel Head # RP30047A, you will just use the installation hardware for the head that you are already using. I confirmed this with my contact at Reese.
Out of both of these options I recommend using the Reese Round Tube Slider # RP50024 as it will operate a little more smooth than the Square Tube design.
