UPDATED PICS BELOW IN RESPONSES Getting ready to buy a fifth wheel again and had to buy a hitch as I sold the last one. Picked this one up super cheap but cannot find any numbers or labels anywhere on it to figure out what the weight capacity is. It is a single spring operated locking jaw that’s 1/2” thick metal. Fits universal rails. Top plate is 18” wide x 12.5” where pin slides into towing mechanism. The slider is two position either back or forward and is a spring loaded release to change positions. The slider rails are squarish tubing. Any idea how to figure out the weight capacity/towing capacity ?Can’t figure out how to add images.

Had to buy a 5er hitch?Getting ready to buy a 5er?Hitches are available within two days if ordered worse case. Why the big hurry to buy a hitch without even owning a 5er. The person who sold it to you just advertised RailHitch and you figured yes sounds good???Sorry but this is a bizarre post as written.

Does it look like this?Older Husky EZ-Roller 16K hitch

Our house is under contract with contingency of their house selling. We will be living in a fifth wheel for 6 months while house is being built. I don’t want to buy the camper until I find a good deal so I don’t lose money or until I know for sure we are closing. Therefore I may only have 30 days to find a camper. This hitch was $100 so if it doesn’t work then I sell it for more and make money. I’m guessing it’s 16k or 18k rated im hoping. No need for me to buy a new hitch and have it in a couple days. Make sense now ?

If it actually hooks into your rails and you hook to even a 18k RV it will get the RV to your lot without issue.

Other than that use I would use that hitch as a Boat Anchor and be happy you got your moneys worth!!!

question.....

SINCE you do not own the fifth wheel yet, AND you will only be in it for up to 6 months... WHY buy a fifth wheel... You have to drill holes in the bed for the mounting of the hitch...

Just buy a large travel trailer and use that for the 6 months... that way you can use your truck frame mounted trailer hitch... ASSUMING yo have one, IF not they are fairly cheap and easy to BOLT on.

This way you will not have 4 holes at 1-3/4" round in the bed of your truck.....

Already had rails from when I had a previous toy hauler. I like the space in a fifth wheel better than travel trailer.
