Helpful Expert Reply:
Fifth wheel hitches typically weigh close to 200 but there is some variance to that like the Curt A20 part # C16044 weighs 191 lbs. The Reese M5 part # RP30918 weighs 187 lb, and the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3600 weighs 224 lbs.
One option to make the install a bit easier is to use a crane and with that you can also use the B and W Lifting Device part # BWRVXA3130 which fits into the jaws of the Companion hitch and provides an easy attachment point.
