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 3-1/2" 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.Installation in 4 hours might be realistic for a shop, but my old tired bones required a bit more time. Everything lined up and fit my 2015 Ram 2500. The quality of the components are far superior to anything Chinese.
I suggest air tools if you have them, and something to lift the 5th Wheel base into your truck bed unless you feel like a baddass today.
I didn't run into any problems because I read the instructions BEFORE I started. Everything I needed to know was right there!
Received the hitch yesterday, earlier than expected. The packaging was in excellent condition and the parts were fine. The best part is it’s American made. Thanks etrailer.
Very fast delivery. Excellent product, would have given 5 stars except for the paint or power coat quality was poor along all narrow edges. Really appreciated the installation video.
Overall good experience.
Awesome product, easy and clean install ation
great hitch, smooth installation. took awhile to get the bolts to thread into the L brackets, other than that moving the muffler was the worst part. 2018 RAM
Absolutely the BEST choIce I could have made. This hitch is awesome. The ride is smoothe And I forget I have 12000# 5ver behind me. Highly recommend.
well engineered parts, good instructions. L brackets were difficult to get into place but considering the alternative (lifting the bed), this was a breeze.
Great product with great instructions
Excellent product very easy install would buy again
