Is the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 Compatible with the Demco Adapter # DM6140 for a 2014 GMC Sierra
Question:
This might sound strange, will the BandW Patriot Slider BWRVK3270 fit on this 5th wheel adapter. I would like to remove the rails from my truck without purchasing a new mount. Thanks

I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 that you referenced is not compatible with the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter # DM6140 that you referenced. While this adapter fits B&W gooseneck hitches, like part # BWGNRK1012 on your 2014 GMC Sierra 6-1/2 foot bed, it has a raised center piece that comes in contact with the crossmember on the Patriot slider.
If you are just looking for a way to use a sliding 5th wheel hitch safely with your B&W gooseneck hitch then I recommend going with the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W. The B&W Companion has the same hitch head as the Patriot. The only difference is that it was customized for the B&W gooseneck hitch so no adapter is needed.
I have attached a review video of both B&W hitches for you to reference.
