How to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer w/ a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 w/ B&W Under Bed Gooseneck Kit
Question:
I have a 2022 Silverado 3500 HD with a BandW turnover ball gooseneck hitch. Does anyone know if the pin on a 5th wheel camper can be adapted to use with a gooseneck hitch?

Since you have the B&W Custom Underbed Installation Kit # BWGNRK1020-5W in your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, there are a couple options for using your 5th wheel trailer using this set-up.
If you have an inverted 5th wheel hitch on your trailer then you can use the B&W Turnoverball King Pin Adapter for Trailers with Inverted 5th-Wheel Hitches # BWGNXA4000.
If you have a more normal king pin (not inverted), then you can mount a B&W Companion hitch in the gooseneck mount. I have listed the Companion hitches that are compatible below. The correct one depends on your bed size.
6-3/4' Bed
- B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W
8' Bed
- B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W
You could also switch the pin box on your 5th wheel to a goose box, which will attach to the turnover ball. If you want to go that route, please let me know the pin box number that you have so I can recommend the correct option.
