Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the Demco Premier Series Above-Bed Base Rail Kit with custom installation kit for fifth wheels on the 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500. The Demco Base Rails are gonna be a great addition to any truck that requires a fifth wheel or if you're having some adventures coming along where you need that fifth wheel. Having base rails means that you can drop in just about any brand. These follow an ISR standard, which is gonna be the basic spacing to be able to drop a base of a fifth wheel in. And kind of the great thing about these is you can still remove your fifth wheel from the bed and that way when you still need to use a truck for truck things, you really don't take up a whole lot of space here. You just have a little bit of raising here on the bed, just where the rails are. more

The rails are going to have several different mounting locations in there and they're going to accept industry standard fifth wheel hitches or gooseneck adapters. And the nice thing about our rails is when we're not towing, we can pull our fifth wheel out and our rails are only going to stick up from our bed about an inch and a half.Now our rails do come with a custom installation kit, which is going to cut down on the installation time making it a little bit easier and also reduce the amount of drilling that we're going to have to do. We are going to have to drill five holes per rail in order to get them installed. Those rails in the bed are going to attach to our frame brackets here. more

Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, we're gonna be installing Reese's custom base rails for fifth wheel trailer hitches, part number RP50066-58.These custom designed base rails are gonna allow you to get your fifth wheel hitch installed in your Chevy Silverado with minimal drilling and effort. Included in the kit, you're going to get two base rails for the legs of your hitch, and two side brackets that'll go underneath and attach to your frame, keeping it nice and secure.The side brackets attached to the frame rails using pre-existing holes so there's no drilling into the frame required, and the base rails will be function with most manufacturers fifth wheel heads, so it'll be ready to bolt right up and ready to use once you got it installed.The way these base rails are designed, the pins that hold your fifth wheel in, you can take your fifth wheel out, so will base rails remain in place and the base rails only sit about an inch on top of your bed, so you'll have mostly full bed access once you get your fifth wheel out of there.This kit comes with all the hardware you need to get it installed. It does require some minimal drilling, I'll show you how to do that now.We'll begin our installation by measuring out the first rail closes to the tailgate. You wanna center it in the middle between each side of your truck bed, and then you'll measure from the rear of the truck bed between your tailgate opening and the actual truck bed itself down towards your rail. There are multiple measurements depending on the length of your truck bed, refer to your instructions and set it at the appropriate distance from here to your rail.You'll then mark the hole one in on each side and the center hole towards the cab. You can use a center punch for this, if you've got a spray in bed liner, you can use a paint stick, and then what I like to do before I take it off if I do have spray in bed liner is to just take a drill bit and just mark that a little bit more. more

As you can see the kit's gonna come with four plugs, they're gonna go right over the holes, keep out dirt and debris and while giving us full access to the truck it's gonna prevent anything from going down, getting in our pockets where we need to lock our fifth wheel into place.Now when you're ready to use your auto slide you'll just want to pull out your black, plastic caps a screwdriver, a little pry bar will help you with that. They're meant to fit in there pretty snug which is good you don't want them coming out while you're traveling down the road or anything. Once you have all four off you'll just bring your auto slide in and you'll drop the four pegs right down in the open holes. Of course you want to rotate your locking arms, lock that in position, then we'll put in our locking pins. Now with those all in position our auto slide is gonna be ready for use.Now the installation kit for the Demco auto slide rails is really no different than the installation for any other Gooseneck or fifth wheel. more
