Expert Answers about Chevrolet Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Adapters


  • Will My B&W Companion Hitch Work In My New Chevy 3500?
  • That completely depends on what style of Companion hitch you have. If your Companion hitch was made for the 2020-2024 GMC/Chevy puck system such as the # BWRVK3710, you can easily transfer it to the new Chevy 3500, provided the truck has the OEM fifth wheel puck system (not just the gooseneck). If your companion hitch was made to be used with the B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch, like part # BWRVK3500-5W, it can only be used with the B&W Turnoverball hitch and it will not work with the...

  • Best Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch Solution for 2024 Ford F-350 without OEM Pucks
  • Hey Miguel, this is a great question but I think your first though of going with the B and W setup is the best. So for that you'd want the part # BWRVK3500 for the fifth wheel hitch and then for the rail kit that also doubles as a gooseneck hitch you'd want the part # BW83FR which also doubles as a gooseneck hitch. This gives you exactly what you are looking for. Ability to tow a fifth wheel hitch, a gooseneck hitch, and then when not needed a totally clean truck bed. The Companion hitches...

  • Which Gen-Y Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter for 2020 High Country 295RL
  • From previous customers with a 2020 Montana High Country we have determined that your 295RL most likely comes with the 1116 pin box so for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the part # GY43FR. If your current pin box is 12-1/2 inches wide then this is accurate. If instead you find it's 12 inches wide you'd need the part # GY36FR as you instead of the 1621 pin box.

  • How Does The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Mount To The Bed Of A Truck
  • Hey Don, The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W has a square tube shank that would drop down into B&W's Turnoverball hitch (gooseneck hitch) to mount to the bed. For your 2016 Ford F-350 you would need the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1111. This allows you to tow both a 5th wheel and gooseneck trailer. The # BWRVK3400-5W has a sliding base, which would only be needed if you have a bed shorter than 8' in length. If you have an 8'...

  • Does Stromberg Carlson Tailgate Rattle
  • Hey Mark, so the Stromberg Carlson fifth wheel tailgate part # VGM-99-100 is not known to rattle so you wouldn't need to worry about that. We also haven't seen these become a high theft item either. You wouldn't need to run the 7-way plug through the tailgate either. You'd plug into the one at the bumper if it was a bumper pull trailer or the one in the truck bed if it was a fifth wheel/gooseneck.

  • Recommended 5TH Wheel Hitch For a 2023 Ford F-150 With 5-1/2' Short Bed
  • There are only 2 ways I would tow a 2015 Grand Design Reflection 27RL behind your 2023 Ford F-150. Both ways are going to require having 5th Wheel Rails # DM8552028-71. Then I would either use the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550040 which is my preference since it can easily be used with different 5th wheels. Or you could use a Fixed 5TH Wheel # C16115 but would then need to have a pivoting pin box like the Reese Sidewinder # RP34FR and a Wedge # RP64FR. If you do not...

  • 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box for Keystone Impact 311 Toy Hauler
  • In order to use the gooseneck hitch in your 2021 F-250 with the Keystone Impact 311 I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box. However, the # GY58GR you looked at isn't rated high enough. Gen-Y uses the formula GVWR x 0.22 = TW so at 16,780 lbs it will be 3,692. This means you need the # GY66FR with the 5,500 lb tongue weight capacity assuming you have a 1621 bolt pattern. You will also need to determine which pin box bolt pattern is on the toy hauler. Since...

  • What's the Difference Between Demco Recon DM8550045 and DM8550045-5W for '13 Ford F-350?
  • You can go with either the Demco # DM8550045 or # DM8550045-5W for your '13 Ford F-350 8' bed. They are the exact same hitch, with different part numbers to help them show up on different parts of our website, so just go with whichever has the cheapest price at that time.

  • Will Curt's 5TH Wheel Rails Fit With Ride-Rite Air Springs On a 2013 Ford F-150 6-1/2' bed?
  • Your Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2525 are not going to be compatible with the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit # C16441-204. It does appear to install any hitch with custom side plates you would have to switch to a different set of Air Springs like the Air Lift for 2WD # AL88228 or 4WD # AL88200. Otherwise if you install the rails with the Universal Kit # C16200 then you could use the Curt Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 16055 you found. Do note the universal...

  • Reese Goose Box Gooseneck Adapter that Fits 2024 Jayco Eagle 29DDB
  • Hey Matt, so the correct Reese Goose Box you'd need for your 2024 Jayco Eagle 29DDB would be the part # RP85FR which fits the Rhino as well as the other standard Lippert pin boxes that your Jayco would have came with although we are pretty sure it is a Rhino. Since your 2024 Ram 2500 is a short bed I would recommend going with an offset ball to fit the OEM pucks like the Gen-Y part # GY83XR which provides 5 inches of offset.
