Lighter Weight Fifth Wheel Hitch Availability
Question:
Im looking at several 5th wheel hitches that can be lifted out when not in use. the only thing you dont show is the weight of the hitch itself. it would be very helpful.

Expert Reply:
The weight of the Curt A16 hitch part # C16520-16017 that you referenced is 141 lbs. The lightest similar option is the Demco Recon part # DM8550043 which weighs 89 lbs and has a 21k capacity. I would agree that the hitch weights would be a valuable piece of info to have posted on our site!
I attached a review video for the Recon for you to check out as well.
