Install a Companion fifth-wheel hitch in your truck bed with this custom kit. Better than a traditional mounting kit, this setup doubles as a gooseneck hitch when the fifth wheel is removed, and the underbed design allows for full bed access.
Features:
Not only does this kit provide you with a sturdy, custom base for installing your Companion fifth-wheel trailer hitch in the bed of your truck, but it also doubles as one of the most recognizable gooseneck hitches on the market. This fifth wheel installation kit actually is the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch from B&W.
Gooseneck Specs:
With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow a gooseneck trailer, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance. When you're ready to tow your fifth wheel trailer, just install the Companion in the ball hole in place of the gooseneck ball and lock the post in place using the built-in handle. You can remove the fifth wheel when you're done towing, leaving your truck bed open once again.
Simple, Custom Installation
This kit is custom designed for your vehicle. The mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.
Once you have the brackets and center section installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the mounting post of the Companion (or the base of the gooseneck hitch ball).

Install a Companion fifth-wheel hitch in your truck bed with this custom kit. Better than a traditional mounting kit, this setup doubles as a gooseneck hitch when the fifth wheel is removed, and the underbed design allows for full bed access.Installed this unit myself and worked perfect. Everything was clearly provided in the directions. If you follow the directions exactly everything goes in perfectly smooth. Like the setup allowing use of my bed if needed. I also got the 5th wheel unit and both the 5th wheel and gooseneck are great options.
Install is possible for one person, much easier with two. It can be done on the ground without removing the spare tire. It took me a little over 3 hours to do alone.
Installation was straightforward. Instructions are very clear and concise. Shipping was prompt and I was able to get updates as needed.
Nice looking setup. Took me 6 hours to install the gooseneck, and 5th wheel by myself with no lifting equipment in my 2018 Silverado 3500. Everything lined up nice. It was a bit heavy, but I like a challenge. Suggest not to over compensate for the spray-in bed liner, I wish I would not have added any extra to the dimension given in the install instructions. Haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, as my RV trailer is still at the dealership until spring.
B&W is the standard bearer of the 5th wheel hitch industry. You can tell It is very well made. It gives me confidence when towing. etrailer made the purchase easy and is my one stop towing equipment provider.
Fantastic service - placed the order last Friday and received my B&W goose neck hitch and wiring harness the following Tuesday. As soon as I get it installed I will be ordering the B&W companion fifth wheel hitch to go with it.
Very heavy duty! Built super well directions are easy as can be... I bought this with the companion slider and it is such a tight fit, no wiggle at all
Good solid hitch, pretty easy install by myself took about three hours.
The directions and video were spot on. The B&W is a lot nicer than any other hitch I have ever owned. Very solid and USA made.
Very happy with installation instructions, help from factory installers, and the overall fit of the under-bed hardware.
Great help over the phone in what would work best for our needs.
But things shipped much later than I was told at the start. I did over the 4 day delivery and the free was waged but it took about 2 weeks to receive. That is why you only got 4 stars!!!
Using this with my Chevy 3500 HD. Was easy to install as per the instructions and online video. Works as advertised!
Thanks to all of the great videos that etrailer puts up my installation was a breeze!!
Solid hitch. Took several hours but install was very straightforward. Tows excellent

Service was great! Got unit installed in 5hrs, and it fit like a glove.
Works well on 2018 HD2500 Silverado. Not hard to install for one person
Excellent quality product and fit for my 2019 GMC truck.
As easy to install as they claim. There fit was perfect and worked flawlessly. I highly recommend it to anybody who is considering the product.

William, I see you had a 2 star experience with the B&W Companion. The Companion is one of our most popular fifth wheel set ups so I am surprised. If you would like to tell me what went wrong, I am happy to help you.
