You will need to check the on center distance between the attachment points between the legs on your hitch to determine if the Reese 16K hitch will fit in the rails for your RBW hitch.

If the attachment points in your rails are 20-15/16 inches apart then, you can use the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 16,000 lbs, item # RP30047.

I would recommend upgrading to the Select Plus 18K Fifth Wheel Hitch, item # RP30081, which has been recently upgraded to 20K. This hitch will give you the added weight capacity and is and excellent hitch. The added weight capacity will be a plus if you decide to upgrade your trailer in the future, and the distance between the leg mounting brackets is also 20-15/16 inches on center.
