Comercial hitch will work fine for a short tow. Over the long run it will beat up the fiver because the pin weight is not enough to activate the HDT suspension. Also the commercial hitch does not articulate side to side so on uneven ground it will twist the frame on the fiver.
Add an air hitch and it is the best tow vehicle you ever tried!

Good advice above!
Towing with the com'l hitch on an HDT is *NOT* worth the potential negative results to the 5th wheel..:(
If the tow is really short - find (or pay) someone with a "standard" 5th wheel hitch to move it for you..;)
