The REESE 30055 fifth wheel cover is a protective accessory built for truck owners who park a fifth wheel hitch in the bed between trips. When the trailer is uncoupled, the exposed hitch collects road grime, rain, and grit that work into the moving parts and lube plate over time. This cover wraps over the hitch head to keep dirt and moisture off the surfaces that matter. It's a low-cost piece of upkeep that pairs naturally with the rest of a fifth wheel setup, and it slots in alongside the broader range of towing equipment we carry.
Construction is heavy vinyl, chosen to shed water and resist the abrasion that comes with an open truck bed. The cover stays put with nylon straps that fasten using snaps, so it won't shift loose at highway speed or work free when the truck is moving down the road. Per REESE specifications, the 30055 fits 15K and 16K REESE fifth wheel hitches, along with 15K, 16K, and 20K Pro Series fifth wheel hitches. It also fits Hidden Hitch classic fifth wheel hitches, which gives it broad coverage across common hitch heads. Carried under part number 30055, it ships light at roughly 1.32 lbs, making it easy to stow in the cab or a toolbox when the trailer is hooked up.
Reach for this cover any time the fifth wheel sits unhitched for more than a day or two, whether the truck is parked at home, at a campsite, or in storage between hauls. Keeping the lube plate and locking jaws clean cuts down on maintenance and helps the hitch couple smoothly when it's time to roll out. It works well next to a fifth wheel lube plate and the rest of the gear in our hitches lineup. If you run a fifth wheel rig year-round, it's an inexpensive way to protect a much larger investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fifth wheel hitches does the REESE 30055 fit?
Per REESE specifications, it fits 15K and 16K REESE fifth wheel hitches, the 15K, 16K, and 20K Pro Series fifth wheel hitches, and Hidden Hitch classic fifth wheel hitches. That covers a wide range of common hitch heads found on most pickup-bed fifth wheel setups.
What is the 30055 cover made of?
It uses heavy vinyl construction designed to protect the hitch from dirt and moisture. The vinyl sheds water and resists the abrasion that comes with an open truck bed, keeping grime off the lube plate and moving parts while the trailer is uncoupled.
How does the cover stay attached?
The 30055 secures with nylon straps that fasten using snaps. The snaps hold the cover in place so it doesn't shift or come loose, even with the truck parked outside or moving short distances.
Do I need a hitch cover if my truck is garaged?
Even indoors, an exposed hitch collects dust and can pick up moisture from a damp bed. A cover keeps the lube plate and locking jaws clean so the hitch couples smoothly and needs less maintenance. For trucks parked outdoors, it's especially worthwhile.
