Helpful Expert Reply:
I'd recommend the 20k B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3710 as it has quite a bit more capacity than you'd need and would give you the best fifth wheel hitch on the market. The 25k version part # BWRVK3715 would also perform just as well but since it has more capacity than you'd need and also because of that costs more I don't feel like it's your best value. I'd only go this route if you had plans to upgrade to a heavier 5th wheel at some point.
