Expert Reply:
You can use the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails with a 3" Offset, # 16055 using the Demco Above-Bed Base Rails and Semi-Custom Install Kit, # DM8552020-71.
For the 2016 Toyota Tundra with 5-1/2' bed, if your 5th wheel is not equipped with a rotating turret pin box, I recommend the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider, # DM8550040. Install this hitch using the Demco Above-Bed Base Rails and Semi-Custom Install Kit, # DM8552020-71. This hitch slides automatically as you drive to give you 22-1/2" of additional clearance for tight turns.
However, if your RV has a rotating pin box such as a Turning Point or Sidwinder then I suggest going with the Demco Recon 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # DM8550043 and using the same Demco Above-Bed Base Rails and Semi-Custom Install Kit, # DM8552020-71.
