Question:

The Rockwood 5th Wheel Im focused on comes with a Reese Revolution = 5th Airborne Premium 5th Wheel Air Ride King Pin w/ Sidewinder. Tow vehicle is 2016 Nissan Titan XD w/Cummins Diesel engine. Im 73 years old, in good health, but want to be able to handle the hitch w/o having to call my son, etc. for assistance. Note the toolboxes. These are removable, but Id rather not. Side-to-side space is 46.

Expert Reply:

The option I recommend for your 2016 Nissan Titan XD with the factory gooseneck, that will allow you to handle the hitch is the Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115 along with Adapter Rail # DM6200 and Wedge # C16991. The wedge is necessary since it keeps the king pin from rotating inside the hitch.

You mentioned you had 46 inches side-to-side and I checked with Demco and the adapter is 36 inches wide so it will fit in the space you have.
