Can B&W Companion Fit Industry Standard Rails
Question:
I have a companion puck system slider for a Chevy 2500 is there a way to convert the puck slider to fit my Chevy 2500 without the puck system to fit the rails of a standard 5th wheel. I hope there is a solution so that I don’t have to purchase a whole new base as the slider is only 6 months old. Thanks so much for your help. Regards

Hi Dave; the B&W Companion like your # BWRVK3770 is only compatible with the puck system or the B&W Turnoverball. Unfortunately, there is no way to adapt it to industry standard rails. If you have a 2016-2019 Silverado 2500 you can install the B&W Turnoverball # BWGNRK1016 and swap out the base for # BWRVB3405. If you have the 2020-2024 you can use the # BWGNRK1020 instead.
The only other option would be to sell your Companion and replace it with the Patriot # BWRVK3270 which is designed to fit your standard 5th wheel rails.
