Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch To Replace RBW 5th Wheel Hitch With Bend Head Assembly

Question:

I want to replace my bent RBW 5th wheel head, hopefully with a Curt C16515 head. The dimensions of my present pin box is 8 inches wide by 18 inches long 21 1/4 with end pins. Will your Curt model be compatible ? ?

I have a replacement option for you, but the Replacement Head Unit for Curt E16 Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch - 16,000 lbs # C16515 only fits the Curt E16 5th wheel hitches and will not fit your RBW 5th wheel hitch. RBW was bought out a while back and their 5th wheel line was closed so replacement parts can occasionally be found on sites like ebay, but they are pretty few an far between.

Instead I recommend replacing your hitch with a new hitch like the like the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16120 if your current hitch is a fixed hitch, or the # C16521 if your hitch is a slider hitch.

The Curt A16 is a great hitch for the money as it has dual interlocking jaws for 360 degrees of king pin contact for a smooth and secure towing experience, and the fully articulating torsion head offers a smoother ride and makes hitching up to your trailer that much easier.

I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
