Which 5th wheel hitch should I buy?

[tschwab]

I'm trying to decide on a 5th wheel hitch, I'm considering the Reese 16K classic and the Hijacker 16k or comparable models. Any suggestions or experiences would be helpfull. My 5th wheel weighs about 10. 5K loaded. Thanks

Just ordered a 16k with side to side rocker. Have pulled with a Reese 14k since '98, no problems with the hitch, but I don't always camp on level ground. I have had problems hooking and unhooking with the camper on blocks and the truck not.

I have the Reese 15k ( used to be called 16k ) and have the 4way rocker. No problems on or off road hooking and unhooking

Take a look at the Turnoverball 5th Wheel Companion Nice hitch rated at 18K.

I pull a 32 5th wheel that weighs a little over 9k with all gear and liquids. I use a 15k Drawtite 4-way rocker and it works great. The rocker makes it much easier to hook and unhook on uneven pads. In the winter months I remove the hitch and store it in the barn and leave the rails in the bed. Hope this helps.
