You'll have to remove the gooseneck hitch from your Reese rails and then also replace the pin box of your trailer with a Sidewinder, but once you do that the Reese Hitch part # RP30081 can work to tow a fifth wheel trailer.
You will need to remove the pin box of the trailer and replace it with a Sidewinder pin box. Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.
There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.
Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.
