What is the best 5th. wheel hitch?
I am looking for opinions on 5th Wheel hitches. What are the 2 best 5th. wheel hitches? I tow a 34' Heartland Big Horn. I need at least a 18K but would like a 20K hitch?

I think you REALLY need to weigh your MS as I have basically the same RV and my pin is about 6K. I would assume ANDERSEN would not approve running over their advertised pin weight of 4,500#.
I DO understand the way the Ultimate is attached and the bed (top corrugation) supports the base when accelerating and hitting the brakes, the base pushes forward and back. Remove the bed then what happens? So yes there is bed deflection with as much weight as you are hauling. Install a GoPro just for fun.
I understand YOU are happy so I am not trying to convince you of anything other than you should weigh your combo as EVERYONE should. I am commenting so people in the market really understand what happens towing heavy with these hitches.
