Expert Reply:
A Reese 5th wheel trailer hitch like # RP30928, will fit in Curt, Valley/Husky, Draw-Tite, Hidden-Hitch and Reese base rails, so there should not be a fit issue. To make sure, there are some measurements you can take of the rails themselves to make sure the 2 are compatible.
First, each rail will have 3 sets of slots on it where the hitch mounts. The outside set of slots is 29 inches apart on center. The middle set is about 20-1/2 inches apart on center. The inside set is 10 inches apart on center. From front to back from one rail to the other, the slots are about 22 inches apart on center.
If your rails have these measurements then the Reese hitch will fit.
