Anyone know what hitch this is?

[B-J1]

This hitch came with the used 5th wheel I bought about 10 yrs ago. The dry weight of this 5th wheel (1995 24' coachman classic)is around 5500 lbs...it's difficult to read the tag as it is all faded. We r planning on getting a new fifth wheel & I am trying to figure out what the weight rating of this hitch is. I can't find any writing on it but it has been painted a few times. I like this old type of hitch as I can easily see when it has hitched properly or not.
I'm going to try to put in a pic but I've never posted a pic on this forum before so here goes 🙂
Thx for your help!

I have a UHS 88 15 that I still use on occasion it's mounted in our old 98 GMC 2500 4x4. Here is a link to the manual for it.

RBW UHS-88-15k hitch

The hitch still has the stickers on it that's how I was able to identify it.

I agree time for new hitch!
While it is still functional, a four tilt is far better towing experience.

I had one of those in the early 80s I don't know the brand or rating but I really liked that hitch for the time. It locked really positive. Too bad it didn't tilt sideways too.
A little research and looks like RBW made those in a 12,000 and a 15,000 pound rating.

It's time for a new hitch...one that 4 way picots and has a wrap around jaw. You'll be happier :B

Use that hunk for a boat anchor or some yard art.

if it is a UHS 88-15 then it has a 15000 lb. rating. I still have my old one in the back yard.

U guys amaze me!!! lol...Thx much....no, I can't make out any numbers on it...I can't even find where they are supposed to be!

Any chance you can make out the part number?

I found one picture matching yours, its listed as RBW Part number UHS-85 which is a 12k hitch with a max vertical (pin) rating of 3000LBS.

And an ebay listing with the following information "5th Wheel Truck Hitch, RBW Industries, Inc., Model UHS-85-7 (F-37 crossbar hitch and UHS-85 mounting brackets ) for easy removal when not in use (GVWR) 12000 #, Vertical Load Rating 3000#"

It is an RBW hitch, had one from 1989 to 2000. Don't recall the weight rating, but probably 14K as that is about the minimum that any manufacturer offered.
