Husky 16k was mentioned.
There are two Husky 16k Hitches. One is entry level slide bar design... One is arguably one of the best fifth wheel jaw design possible, the single jaw design. The slide bar is just that, a bar closes behind the kingpin and retains the kingpin very securely.
Here are the two different hitches
Husky 16k Slide Bar Hitch
Husky 16k Single Jaw Hitch
As far as safety.... the slide bar does a GREAT job.. the Single Jaw does as well. The biggest difference IMHO is that the single jaw hitch has a full floating head. The full floating head can make it easier to hitch and unhitch in uneven terrain.
Both hitches are good.
The slide bar Husky is the same thing as the Curt E16... You can see that in this link
Thanks!

The hitch is the Husky 16k S. None pivioting head. I have to be EXACTLY lined up to get properly hooked and secure. Problem is when i am backing I can not see the hitch at all. 2nd concern (and a big one) is how do i deal with uneven sites? Do i need to take extra boards to raise truck tires? I have no clue.
Please any advice welcomed. Thanks.
