Howdy Burpl,

I have a Reese 15K fifth wheel hitch and the gooseneck plate that you can buy seperately. The hitch was included in the price of my trailer and I can't remember how much it was. The gooseneck plate was less than $100 at the same RV place. We have used both many times and no problems so far.

Also check out the B&W turnover ball. The "Companion" 5th wheel hitch attaches to the goose ball socket. Leaves the bed flat when the hitch is out.

Pullrite (www.pulrite.com/) makes a 5VR that only leaves 4 small holes in the bed and you get the gooseneck adaptor to fit the same rails.
