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.This is a great item for those who want a clean flat bed when not towing a 5th wheel or goose neck trailer. It took about 4 hours to install the below bed and above bed parts by my son, grandson, and me(I supervised). We pretty much followed the online video except we did not loosen the exhaust flange nuts (we didn't need to). When it came to bolting the center piece to the cross members, we had one person standing in the bed with a rope holding the piece up through the hole while the other person installed the bolts in it. Everything lined up well when things were squared up. we did not have any problems with the installation.
I love it! It was easy to install and works great. I still want to add the fifth wheel attachment maybe this summer
Package was on time. Boxes were beat up, but no hardware was lost. B&W hitches are very well made. Installation was straightforward. I will buy the Companion 5th wheel hitch next.
etrailer followed through with the best customer service for me. I had placed an order but knew I would be out of town so Matt scheduled truck freight delivery for my B&W slider hitch assy 400 lb to be shipped and delivered when I would return. Timing was great, product is best quality and with etrailer videos I installed with no issues. UPS truck driver was happy as I was waiting with skid steer with forks to unload. Picked up new 14k+ lb 5th wheel same day I completed install and even made it home. Also used a etrailer coupon to get best pricing nationwide. Thanks Matt
