5th Wheel Base Rail Kit Compatible with Reese 5th Wheel Hitch 30031
Question:
Hi Etrailer, I was given a Reese 30031 5th wheel hitch. Is there an under bed rail that this would fit this hitch?
asked by: R M
Expert Reply:
The Reese 30031 will fit industry standard 5th wheel bed rails like the universal fit # RP30035. If you want a custom fit base rail bracket kit so you don't need to drill into the frame of your truck, then for your 2006 Chevy Silverado I recommend the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50064-58. This kit has the custom brackets and the industry standard rails you need for your Reese hitch.
If you have a short bed truck, then the slider base # RP30048 you asked this question from is also needed for turning clearance with that hitch.
You may also want to consider the wiring harness # 50-97-410 to allow easy connection access and a clean look. I've attached some videos to further assist.
