For fifth wheel campers like your 2013 Rockwood by Forest River Signature Ultra Light 8282WS the best option we have for a trailer hitch is the Curt # 13703 which fits all of the standard frame styles and also can fit widths between 22 and 72 inches. This covers mostly everything but we don't have specific fit info for it.

I did attach an install video for this for you to check out as well.
