5th Wheel Hitch ???

I just got back from an rv parts store going out of business sale and picked up a RBW 16k hitch. It's brand new and I paid $150.00 for it. I think I stole it! Anybody got any thoughts???

I had ine just like that in my old truck. I got the kit to run gooseneck and 5th wheel. It was easy to install, I bolted mine to the frame. I know of guys welding theres to there trucks.

I ran an rbw in an old truck of mine. Worked fine. Only issue I had was I backed up once to hook up the trailer and did not pull the handle on the hitch and the way it works inside allowed the latch to bend and I had a heck of a time getting them to sell me the part.

is that hitch one that rocks from side to side?
my first hitch did not and i had trouble hooking and unhooking if the truck or the trailer wasn't level,
one time i had to jack up one side of the truck to unhook
no more... i now have a "double rocker"
