Fifth wheel hitch

rpm-inc · Apr 24, 2012

I need a hitch to pull a 30 ft fifth wheel travel trailer. Don't know anything about fifth wheel stuff. Been looking for a used hitch on craigslist, and there are several for about 300 without rails. Then I saw this on ebay. Will it work for me?

I have the exact same thing. Been using it for 8 years to pull my 5ver with no issues yet. Very easy to install and remove.

Reese makes good hitches. Make sure you get one that is rated to pull the weight of the trailer.

Another one popped up on cl. Reese #30047 16k. Also has the kwik slide. Its about 900 new. This one is from 04 but looks almost new. Got it for 300 with all the rails and brackets.

I have one for free if you want it. Either pick it up, or pay shipping. It is older, I have the hitch, and rails, but the mounting arms under the bed went away with the truck. they were welded on. Let me know if you are interested, and Ill shoot you some pics. I am bringing it to the dump if you dont want it.

I just looked on it, I thought it was higher, but, it is rated for 14,000. It is a REESE CLASSIC. Def an older model. When I bought my 450, it was sitting in the bed, not attached.... just sitting there.... Like I said, I dont want anything for it. Just shipping cost. It has sat there in front of my shop for long enough.

Adjustable up/down position. No side to side tilt. I have front and rear rails. Just no truck mounts.
