Though I do need to start by saying the highest rated fifth wheel hitch available for a 2019 Ram 3500 long bed with the factory puck system will be the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP37FR, which is rated to 27,000 pounds, I can still compare the Curt 30k hitches for you.

First, the Curt A30 # C66HR. The A-Series fifth wheel hitches have been around for quite some time and the second is the Curt PowerRide # C22ER. This is Curt's brand new fifth wheel hitch. There are a lot of similarities between these two hitches, but the # C22ER does have a few updates and actually has wear plates built in, so you do not need to keep track of a lube plate, like # C16722. The only other large difference will be the finish. The PowerRide # C22ER will have a dark grey teridium coating, and the A30 # C66HR will retain the standard black powder coating.

Both of these will have lifetime warranties, are rated up to 30,000 pounds, and have one pin head removal, which makes the removal of the hitch a lot easier. Both of these are also designed to be used with above bed rails, like # C16204.

You should be fine towing with your Curt PowerRide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 30,000lbs Item #C22ER but you'll want to check the weight capacity rating of the rails you're using as there are currently no rails rated for 30,000lbs.…

According to Curt, you never want to operate your PowerRide #C22ER fifth wheel hitch without the integrated lube plates installed. I am not sure what would have caused the screws to shear, but they are replaceable. We have #C52WR which comes with 2…

Hey Jesse, yes a standard fifth wheel hitch like the Curt part #C22ER which is a 30k fifth wheel hitch. This will work really great with your RV and since the handle does not stick up it would fit under your tonneau as well.
