Published 11/03/2017
Question:
I have a R5 slider with a E16 head that I got with a camper purchase can I put an A16 head on this R5 slider? I like the double jaw better. Thanks

Your Curt R5 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Roller 16500 will absolutely work with the A16 Replacement Head Unit for Curt A16 and Q16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 16,000 lbs # C16520. I confirmed this with my contact at Curt. That part has been discontinued and replaced with the # C16550 which is also a fit. This will be a really nice upgrade from your E16 hitch head.
