I'd look at the Amazon Ultimate Hitch if I were you. Lighter, up to 23.000 lb capacity, good for either short bed OR long bed.
Here's ONE source... I got mine from Amazon. I love it because it's so QUIET and NO clunking!

Late to the party .... again
I wasn't aware of a Keystone Sprinter 5th wheel so had to look at the manufacturer's web site. Very nice and a very good length for a newbie to the fiver world. My only kinda negative is that the tires as-supplied sure could be 16" and E rated instead of 15" D rated. There is a separate Keystone forum if you haven't found it yet and has a lot of good info and (mostly) good people there.

We picked up the sprinter 7/03/15 after work about 3:00 got it home shoved all the gear from our travel trailer in it , and took it to our regular camping resort . We were on our site by 7:30 pm . Unfortunately I had to be in bed by 8 and at work at 1 am . But once I got back we had a great first camp with our new baby .

Now I don't call camping with an RV "real camping" we call it "Glamping" at the race tracks. You know, air conditioning, satellite tv, shower, a real bed and a fridge thats always cold and full of adult beverages! We love our Glamper.....
