Thanks for reaching out, I see you have a short bed truck and a camper designed to be towed with that application.

**Curt E16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Slide Bar Jaw - 16,000 lbs # C16115
**Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit - Carbide Finish # C16444-204.

A good hitch that will be able to handle you camper will be the Curt listed above.

I do recommend that you check and make sure that you will have enough turning radius, you may still need to get a rotating pin box even if the manufacturer says it is designed for short bed trucks.

If you have a camper that is over 16K just go with the next size up Curt that I have listed for you below:
