Hi Randy -- --

Don -- Is correct. The "Pin" is the same --- Commercial Trailer/RV Trailer.

The "Plate" or "Mating Surface" is larger on a Commercial Trailer -- Because of the "Verticle Loading". Hence -- A larger Commercial Hitch (Holland).

For these reasons -- The Commercial Holland Hitch will function pulling a 5th wheel RV.

The "Disc" Don referes to is a Teflon disc -- Providing the slippery substance between the "Fixed" object (Hitch) and the movable object (Trailer) -- Preventing excellerated wear/Noise/Binding.

There are 2 sizes of "Discs" -- Large for Commercial -- Small for RV.

Grease is the other medium -- Although messy -- Hence the Teflon Disc.

Don may have also been referring to a "Plate" that is fitted in the grease well and tack welded into the Commercial Hitch -- And using then the small Teflon wear ring to pull a RV 5th wheel.

Hope this helps answer the Hitch question -- --

Dave
