Question:
Hi I’m looking for a fifth wheel hitch that attaches to standard rails but pivots front to back and side to side do you have any suggestions?

Hey Michael, the type of pivoting head you mentioned looking for is pretty common on current fifth wheel hitches such as the B and W Patriot hitch part # BWRVK3200. This would be a really great option though and has a very tight jaw design that allows for a really quiet and smooth ride quality.
