Review of Reese Fifth Wheel - Fifth Wheel - RP30884 Video

Yes, the Replacement Center Section for Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitches item #RP30884 and the item #RP30894 can be used in the Ford Factory Puck System, the Ram factory puck system, and on industry standard rails. To mount it in the Ford prep package you…

Yes, the gooseneck hitch balls for the factory prep packages are the same for Ram and Ford. If you need a new hitch ball for either of these systems than you can use the Curt Pop-In Ball part #C60601 or the Reese Pop-In Ball part #RP19311.

I attached a picture that has an exploded diagram of the Reese Titan 20 Fifth Wheel Hitch part #RP30869 that will show you how it all assembles. There is also a part list below the diagram for you to compare to what came with your hitch to see if you…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

The Ram OEM 5th wheel puck system, shown in the linked photo and article, was launched in 2013 so what you have in your truck is likely to be an aftermarket installation of some kind. These newer Ram trucks with the factory prep can directly accept a…

A wedge is needed, yes, and the Lippert Turning Point pin box does come with a universal wedge, but it is not a very good fit with the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710. So I highly recommend instead using the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth…

I spoke with my contact at Trailair and from your serial number we were able to determine that your trailer came with a 1621 HD pin box which is a long pin box style. I was unable to obtain the exact part number for your Trailair pin box but from the…
