Yes, you can use the Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C86JR with the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # RP30154.

The Curt CrossWing Lightweight 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C86JR uses industry standard mounting points, which is what the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # RP30154 will provide.

You just can't use adapter plates for gooseneck hitches like the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # C16210 which has a single point connection, versus the 4 points that the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # RP30154 uses.
