Yes, the Curt A-Series of 5th wheel hitches - including your Curt A16 sliding hitch - is 100 percent compatible with the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box - Lippert 1621 or 1621HD - 18,000 lbs # LC328330.

It is the E-Series and Q-Series that the Rota-Flex is not compatible with, and that is because the head units on those hitches are spherical, which means they don't offer enough stability to be used with the Rota-Flex's cushioning. But the A-Series has a different, upgraded type of head unit that does have the stability that will allow you to use the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328330.

This is a really nice choice that is going to give you a nicer, more comfortable towing experience as it will absorb road shock and help minimize movement between the hitch and kingpin to reduce chucking.
