With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your gooseneck trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance.
Easy-to-Remove, Simple-to-Store Hitch Ball
The durable steel hitch ball included with the Turnoverball system secures in the hitch with a sturdy, 5/8" thick steel pin that is incorporated into the end of the operating handle. To lock the ball in place, drop it into the hitch hole in the bed of your truck. Then rotate the handle in your driver's-side wheel well counterclockwise until the latch engages. When the latch is engaged, the spring-loaded pin on the end of the handle will be inserted all the way through the base of the hitch ball, forming a strong, solid connection and ensuring absolute security when you're towing.
When you're done towing, remove the hitch ball by simply pulling the handle out as far as it will go and then rotating it clockwise until it unlatches. Remove the ball, flip it upside down, and drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch. Then reengage the latch to secure the stowed ball in place.
Unlike typical gooseneck balls - which have round bases - the Turnoverball hitch ball is designed with a square base. This makes latching the ball in the hitch easier because the base won't rotate inside of the hitch like a round base might, so lining the pin up is a snap. The base of the ball also fits tightly within the ball hole during storage. Because only the corners of the base contact the sides of the socket, any dirt or grime that gets into the hitch will fall through the socket, thus helping to prevent any buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.
B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Accessories
B&W makes it easy to tow just about anything. With the many adapters and accessories available, the Turnoverball can be made to work with almost any gooseneck trailer. Hitch balls are available that have a built-in rise, an offset, and even a different connection type. Add on the Companion fifth-wheel hitch - which attaches directly to the Turnoverball with no other parts required - and you can tow your fifth-wheel trailer.

I got a reduce price on a B&W weld in five wheel ball mount do to cosmetic scathing on tow ball which was almost non excestant save 65 dollars as usual B&W makes the most high qaulty parts and e trail are always excellent shipping was faster than they said. Thx again for passing on the savings to the customer

Came in a timely manner, about a week from the time I ordered it to it delivered to my door step in Alaska. The hitch itself is very high quality with nice clean welds and sharp clean edges which took almost no prep work to weld in to the frame I had built for it. You could tell by looking at this that B&W uses nice welding equipment and employs quality welders. Overall very happy with this. Installed on Monroe flatbed on F-450 cab and chassis truck.
by: Mark11/21/2017
This unit was very handy to be able to purchase and install on my Bradford Built flatbed so that I could install my B&W companion hitch with flatbed base on the truck.
The welding was all fairly straight forward and didn't require much except for a few washers and a piece of flat steel for a spacer.
The one down side is that the hitch pin/handle does not have any built in twist-n-lock method to lock it so the pin remains disengaged for the ball or companion assembly install like on the common B&W under truck bed assemblies I've had on several trucks. We ended up installing the pin slightly out of line so that the tip of the pin would catch on the exterior of the receiver when pulled out and then when I wanted to engage the pin just push up on the handle and press the pin back in.
I do like that I can still cover the hitch hole with the cover plate as seen in the picture.

I used this system BWGNRK1500 to retrofit the standard flat bed gooseneck hitch pocket on my Bradford bed. I wanted to be able to use my B&W companion hitch to pull my 5th wheel trailer so I needed a receiver tube that sits flush with the surface of the bed. This application took me about 3 hours to fabricate and install and it works perfectly. We have since installed the identical system on two other flat bed trucks.

This will give you a gooseneck hitch that allows you to store the gooseneck ball by turning it over and reinserting it into the hitch for undistributed bed use, and you can also tow a 5th wheel trailer...

Your truck would need to have the Turnoverball gooseneck part # BWGNRK1500 as the hitch and base is not compatible with any other hitch.

view full answer... - How to Install a Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch on a Flat Bed TruckSince you have a flatbed on your truck now the only recommended way to use a Companion hitch will be to first use the # BWGNRK1500 as a gooseneck hitch and then for a fifth wheel hitch you would need the # BWRVK3050. The # BWGNRK1108 that you had previously installed on your truck is not compatible with flatbed trucks so there would be no recommended way for you to use it.

The aftermarket manufacturers do not build a gooseneck kit specific to the cab and chassis as they are typically covered with either a flat bed, service bed or other aftermarket bed which all have different heights off the frame an are made from different materials.

They're just different part or inventory numbers. The Double Lock is confirmed to fit a 2012 Chevy Silverado 3500 with a standard truck bed. The flat beds typically sit up higher off of the frame than a truck bed so the custom fit gooseneck options don't work.

- Installing B&W Gooseneck and Companion on Aluminum Flatbed The B&W Companion Flatbed # BWRVK3050 referenced in your question is designed to work with the B&W Flatbed Turnoverball # BWGNRK1500. In order to use the Companion the gooseneck hitch must first be installed. I spoke with my contact at B&W regarding the ability to install the gooseneck hitch on an aluminum flatbed like yours. He said that because the hitch gets welded to the bottom of the bed, you would just need to fabricate some kind of steel surface under the bed to which the hitch...

If that's more than you'd like to do then you could use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball # DM8550046 instead and connect to your current gooseneck ball.

This will need to get welded to the frame, and then bracing will also need to be added and welded on to further strengthen the plate.

I still like the hitch and use it with my companion frequently but wish there was a twist and lock function like all the other B&W underbed hitches.
