5th wheel hitch
Planning to buy a Artic fox 28-5 with a gross weight of 15700 lbs when fully loaded. I have a good deal on a B&W Patriot 16000 lbs of tow weight is this to close to max weight of RV or go with a 18000...

^^^ I realize my story is not an apples to apples example. The point I was hoping to get across from it was that if a well built hitch is used at double its rated capacity and something goes wrong the hitch is not likely going to fail. I would be afraid to get on an elevator if I thought I couldn't trust the rated capacity of hitch.
Just twisting your bones! Everything has a "FACTOR" built in and B&W's is VERY high.
My MORryde IS axles are rated 8k, they actually inspected mine that are at nearly 9k and they said they looked good and were within their spec!
