Hello Stephanie, unfortunately the Reese Elite RE18 has been discontinued. The replacement head unit # 58292 has also been discontinued and is no longer available. We sold our last one back in 2021. Since replacement parts are not available, I am afraid that at this point we would have to recommend replacing the hitch entirely. Reese now makes the M5 Fifth Wheel Hitch like part # RP30928, which is rated for 20,000 lbs and will fit in the industry standard fifth wheel rails.
