Hopefully this doesn't sound as a dumb question. I am in the works to get a 5th wheel RV, all my past experience was with class A's.


Now that I have a good pulling truck I am looking into a 5th wheel RV.

My current truck has an old gooseneck style hitch that I need to get out and get a 5th wheel hitch.

my question other than capacity rating, are all 5th wheel RV same style connection? I don't want to buy a hitch only for it to be wrong one later.

Not sure what RV I will eventually get, but it will be within the 32-34 foot range with 3-4 slide outs.


I have a SRW 2005 Ford F350 superduty LX4 crew cab powerstroke 6.0 long bed.

Leveling kit installed in front, and 35" tall tires (22" x 12 wide wheels)

This combination works very well towing my boat around and very stable at highway or any speed. Its a 36' foot center console (with triple outboards) triple axle trailer (13-14K weight)

I do have a plastic bedliner installed, I would like to keep it.
