If, like many flat beds, you will have a gooseneck hitch installed, I suggest the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter, # BWRVK3050. This works with the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks, # BWGNRK1500.
With the Companion Flatbed from B&W, you get a heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch that mounts in your flatbed truck by connecting directly to your Turnoverball gooseneck hitch with the included components. No modifications are required to your truck or trailer. And no additional parts are required for the system to work.
The 1" thick jaw on the Companion Flatbed is precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection. And unlike slide-bar models, the rounded 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer's king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride.
Please note the linked product review and installation videos below for a great visual of this system installs and functions.
