B&W Companion hitch.
They are not light at 200 pounds, they are not cheap. be prepared. That being said. having used several different ones, I'll stick with my B&W. They also make slider version that works with short bed trucks. They are easy to install. Pull the handle under the driver side rear wheel well and remove the gosseneck ball. The base of the fifth wheel drops in the hole. Puh the handle back in. There is one bolt that draws it down tight. Torque it. of the top of my head its either 60 or 80 FT LBs. Set the fifth wheel plate on and insert the safety pins. Done.
Storage can be a pain. I leave mine hanging on the front of 5th wheel. I pull out, remove the head, loosen the bolt, put the head back on. Hook back up to the fifth wheel, Lift the whole thing out with the camper.
For the love of RV's everywhere DO NOT buy one of these. RV pin boxes where not designed to take the additional stress these impose. Forrest River and Keystone (they own many names) will void your warranty.
