16 to 18 Fifth Wheel Hitch
Just went from 12gcw to a 15.5 gcw fifth wheel, should I upgrade my 16K fifth wheel hitch to a 18K hitch?:)

As long as your RV actually weighs 16K or less and the pin weight is at or below the hitch specs you will be fine. Anything that is engineered for a specific spec has a huge fudge factor.
If you want a heavier duty hitch check out the B&W they are very simple in design and top quality USA Made.
I just came back from talking to a neighbor that arrived yesterday. The B&W hitch will not disconnect from the truck. It is the first hitch of that brand I have seen and it looks very tough but something broke inside. I will find out when he gets it off and repaired. I asked if he knew of some things that can help and he knew and had tried them. Nothing is perfect.

Please post what actually happened.
I will because we like to know stuff. It might happen tomorrow.
