Thank you both for the replies.
Anyone else installed the 4 bolt rails for their fifth wheel hitch? I called RV America (who I bought this hitch from) and he assured me that either was fine but that they would work with me if I wanted to change to 10 bolt. After looking at the diagrams, it would appear to me the advantage of the 10 bolt is the carriage bolts are on the lower part of the rail whereas the 4 bolt rails have the bolts on the top of the rail. Might make sliding plywood or something like that a little more difficult.
Unless someone thinks different, I will likely go with the 4 bolt rails as the camper is arriving next week and I need to install my hitch.
Thoughts?
