I am thinking about getting a hitch that will have air ride on it, but probably would rather buy the trailer with a air ride package on it.
I don't have a fifth wheel, but will need to buy a hitch soon, if I go the trailer route. I still am thinking about a motorhome, but have not made up my mind at this point.
Back in the 90's, when I last considered a fifth wheel, the hitch did not rock side to side, like today. And you could not pick 3 mounting styles either. They have become much easier to remove from the truck bed, and you can get a handy device to catch the pin, should it fall out of the hitch for whatever reason.
Good luck,

You have the right idea. Go buy a 25K air safe hitch or another quality air hitch and go down the road nice and smooth. Your 5th wheel will like it and your truck will to. I bought my first 5th wheel in 2006. I contacted a friend of mine who had a 5th wheel for the last 23 years while I had a cabover. He had a regular reese hitch till january that year. His exact words were: I am not telling you it is worth the money.But I like the ride. He said that he forgot and left a soap bottle on the kitchen counter at the lake. And when he got home it was still sitting their. I said that is all I wanted to hear. I said to him , why did you buy a 25K hitch when all you needed was a 16K hitch. He said that the 16K did not have the Holland Binkly head. So I bought the 25K air safe hitch and I could not be happier. The only time anything moves in the trailer is if I have to slam on the brakes.
