Best Inexpensive 5th Wheel Hitch for the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit RP30035
Question:
What fifth wheel hitch would you recommend for a Reese 30035 universal rail system? I got it with a gooseneck hitch but now getting a fifth wheel. What is the best option that is inexpensive to get?

Expert Reply:
The best inexpensive 5th wheel hitch that will work with the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit part # RP30035 is the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30047 because it is one of the very few options at this price point with a dual jaw design that will grip the kingpin tightly therefore minimal play can occur making for the best ride. It also has a tilting head which aids in coupling the trailer as well as multiple different height settings. It will work perfectly with the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit. If you need a slider version you can use the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30051.
