The brand of gooseneck trailer hitches that fit in 5th wheel rails that we carry are Reese, Draw-Tite, Curt, and Valley. None of the available units are compatible with RBW 5th wheel rails. What you could do is use a Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter. The top of these adapters connects to your gooseneck and the bottom fits in a 5th wheel trailer hitch. I have included a link to the adapter page below.
