Fifth Wheel Hitch - tried searcing

We had truck camper and 5th wheel with bolted down mounting rails. I added Plywood between the rails.
Used chain host to remove Air Hitch (250lbs)

If I had to do it all over again I would go under-mount gooseneck for sure. No bed to create for the camper, which also adds height.

I just put down some 2X4's and put the TC down on them..Cleared the FW rails perfectly never slipping..

Get an under mount gooseneck hitch and then either an Anderson or b&w companion fifth wheel for it. The b&w isn’t light weight but is a superior hitch.

B&W makes a removable hitch. My bed has one from the previous owner. It all comes out, but they aren’t light.

I use a rubber mat over the hole.

Pullrite with under bed mount system.

(1) Remove hitch.

(2) Remove 4 mount pins.


Clear bed.



C.B.

There are two-part hitches where the hitch head and cradle separate to make them lighter. Anderson fifth wheel hitches are lighter but some people feel they are not up to the task.

If your truck has pucks or a gooseneck to mount a hitch, you have almost a flat surface and not much to push up on the under side of the camper. If you have to install rails, you will need to build up the bed surface to those rails before loading the camper.
