Will Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch Chuck Less than Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter
Question:
I recently bought a fifth wheel and it had a gooseneck adapter on it. I installed a BandW turnover ball and the first tow home with the trailer it chucked like crazy over every tiny bump. Ive been told buying the fifth wheel companion will help quite a bit and am curious if you guys have the same recommendation? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The B and W Companion hitches are incredibly nice hitches. They do not have a reputation for chucking at all. They jaws and head design of the hitch hold the king pin very tightly to eliminate any movement.
If you have a long bed truck you'd want the fixed hitch part # BWRVK3500 or if you have a short bed truck you'd want the slider version part # BWRVK3400.
