Can a Curt Q20 5TH Wheel Hitch Head Be Moved From a Fixed Base To a Slider Hitch Base?
Question:
I own a Curt Q20 with solid legs. I want to upgrade to the slider R20 legs. Can I just switch my Q20 head over and use on normal fifth wheel rails?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can remove the Legs # C16904 from your Curt Q20 5th Wheel Hitch # C16130. Then you will be able to bolt the Head # C16530 to the Curt R20 Round Tube Slider # C16550. I recommend using new Hardware # C16125-SK4 when you move the head to the new base. This will reduce the chances of issues caused by reusing the current hardware incase it becomes damaged during removal.
