Our most popular RV hitch is the Curt # 13703. You need to measure your fifth wheel trailer's frame to confirm a fit because it's a universal design. It's made for frames that are 22 to 72 inches wide and has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.

If this Curt hitch doesn't work for your trailer I've also linked our complete selection of RV hitches for you.

As long as the trailer hitch is installed correctly then it will be able to retain the weight rating given by the manufacturer so either bolt-on or weld-on will work. Just a few things to keep in mind; check the weight rating of your 5th wheel trailer for towing, make sure your tow vehicle and hitch can handle the extra weight, and some states don't permit double towing so you'll want to make sure you're legal on the street.
