I'm not sure how our frames compare, but I installed the Draw Tite 82201 on my 3160RL. Also installed the same hitch on my last 5th wheel; it is adjustable for different frame widths. My frame is the max width for the hitch (actually about 1/2" too wide, but I made it work). I bolted the Draw Tite to the outside flange of the frame.

3000# is a lot of weight; you will have to decide about that. I used to tow a jeep behind my smaller 5th wheel, but I won't do it anymore. I decided that was too much weight, even though the jeep has very little tongue weight (tows on all four wheels). I don't put much more than a bike rack back there now.

1st photo: old hitch removed, frame prepped for new hitch. You can see that, on my rig, the water tank is not a factor.
