    Solid Hitch
    Had issues with my previous hitch lots of chucking and noise. Switched to this Power ride 30K, it fixed all that and it handles my 5th wheel like a champ. No noise and I trust it with the heavy loads.

    A16 5th Wheel Wedge Kit
    I made a mistake when I order this item, the need was for a curt E-16k, that's why I order the other one specialy for the E-16, I received it and I'm ok with it, but the first one is useless. Everything was right, the error was mine.

    Great Hitch. But...
    This is a great hitch. The legs fit perfectly in my 2016 Nissan Titan XD factory pucks. I do like that the hitch itself can be easily removed for proper storage. Hitching and un-hitching work seamlessly. My Grand Design Fifth Wheel Trailer came equipped with the Lippert Turning Point Pin Box. The ‘universal’ wedge plate that came with the trailer does not work with the Curt A16. The funnel is a bit too wide and the ‘short side’ of the wedge hits the king pin before the wedge shoulders make contact with the hitch funnel.
