Hi. I appreciate the reply and the info on the Reese hitch. Is there any other 5th wheel hitches that will fit in my RBW existing rails. Thanks

The Lil Rocker fifth wheel hitch you have is designed to fit the same industry standard fifth wheel rails as the current hitches made so we have several hitches that would work.

The Reese Hitch part # RP30047 would be a great option. It has a 16k capacity and has a great jaw design that will hold the king pin of your trailer tightly for a smooth towing experience.

We have quite a few options actually. Most fifth wheel hitches are made to fit the same rails you have currently. We have the Curt A16 hitch part # C16120 which is similar to the Reese I mentioned in a lot of ways. We have the Reese M5 part # RP300928 which is one of the nicest hitches that will fit your rails as it has a single hook jaw design that provides excellent king pin to jaw contact. Some people swear by the B and W hitches so for that we have the Patriot part # BWRVK3255 which has an 18k capacity.
