Recommened 5th Wheel Hitch for a Flat Bed Truck w/ a Recessed Well
Question:
I was looking at the BWRVK3500 will it fit in this space or do you have something that will. Thanks

Thanks for the pictures! I have a solution for you but you'll need to take a closer measurement. I can't tell exactly where the tape measure ends due to the angle but if your recess well is 4" deep or less I recommend using the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3050. This is the Companion that is designed specifically for recessed gooseneck wells. The well looks about the right height but it looks like the aluminum bed makes it too tall.
I have attached a diagram below with the dimensions of the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3050.
The B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3500 you were looking at won't work because it's designed for standard bed trucks. The B&W gooseneck receiver has to be flush for it to work.
If this doesn't work then we do have the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter item # CAB-C5G. This adapter will bolt onto your kingpin and connect to the gooseneck ball.
I have linked a review video below so you can see this adapter in action.
