view full answer...The king pin dimensions can be the same between fifth wheel trailers and large commercial trailers. Both types of trailers often use a standard 2 inch king pin although semis sometimes have a 3-1/2 inch. As long as your truck fits a 2 inch king pin…
view full answer...B and W does not offer an automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch nor do any of the other manufacturers offer one that fits their Turnoverball system. So for a sliding fifth wheel hitch you'd need their manual slider part #BWRVK3400.
