Will a Demco Recon 5th Wheel Hitch Work w/ a B&W Gooseneck Hitch?
Question:
Hello, Just wondering if the Demco Recon fifth wheel to gooseneck hitch will work with the BandW Turnover Ball? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
Yes, it will. The Demco Recon item # DM8550046 will work great with the gooseneck ball that is included with B&W's Turnoverball gooseneck hitches. The one you are looking at is for a recessed ball typically found on flatbed trucks. You will need to ensure the top of the gooseball is 13/16" or closer to the top of the truck bed for the Recon item # DM8550046 to function correctly.
If you do not have a recessed gooseneck ball you will want to use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # DM8550045 instead.
