The Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector # RM-050 will likely work with your trailer hitch that has the tabs on the bottom of the receiver as there does not look like there is going to be any interference. So long as the tabs are completely on the bottom of the receiver you should be fine.

Have received Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector for use on hitch at rear of our 5th wheel. The distance between the end of the receiver and the tabs on the Rollaway is right at 1/8th inch. The Hitch Protector is able to rotate downward a little is not straight with the hitch but the tabs catch it and do not allow it to rotate all the way down. Should we go ahead and get some shims welded in place or will it work as is? Thank you.
