I have seen many types of installations over the years. Fifth wheels for travel trailers used to just be held in with strips bolted to the bed. We used to use a 3/8 plate and drill the hole for the shank to go through the plate. We cut the shank length to the plate thickness, welded it on the top, and then did a rosette weld on bottom. The original bed bolts were removed, plate installed with grade 8 bolts going through the frame in original holes. Later on came those Atwood flip over balls, they had a channel welded or bolted to the frame under the bed, and a square hole was cut to expose the business end of it on the bed. They were ok, not great. B&W entered the market with the turnover ball which is great. It also has multiple options for hitches that can be used with it, including a fifth wheel. They bolt to the frame and are the best ones yet IMO. I would not use any of them that were not secured to the frame directly.
