Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Plate to Fit in Place of RBW Lil Rocker 5th Wheel Hitch on a 2003 Silverado
Question:
I bought a 2003 2500hd chevy pickup that has a RBW lil rocker fifthwheel hitch in it.The fifth wheel hitch says it has a 15k rating. Is there a gooseneck ball plate that will fit in these rails that I can use on a 24ft cattle trailer and a 28ft flatbed trailer?

Expert Reply:
I do know that the RBW Lil' Rocker 5th wheel hitch will fit in the standard above the bed rails that we carry. What I am not sure of is if the gooseneck plates we have that fit the above the bed rails will fit the RBW rails (if they are RBW rails). You will need to take some measurements of the rails to determine fit.
I have included a picture showing the rail measurements our gooseneck plates will fit in. The plates will use the inner most set of mounting tabs on the rails, about 10 inches apart on center. The tab slots should be about 15/32 inches by 1-1/2 inches. Front to back the tabs will need to be about 22 inches apart on center.
I recommend plate # 16055. It can be oriented so that the ball is further towards the back of the truck for short bed trucks.
