Will a Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Fit Demco 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter DM6140
Question:
Do you sell an adjustable fith wheel saddle that would fit these rails for a short bed with an offset toward the tailgate
asked by: Jason
Expert Reply:
Any trailer hitch that fits in industry standard above the bed rails will fit in the Demco adapter # DM6140. Most hitches will fit in the slots on the rails that are spaced 20-1/2 inches apart on center. Any hitch that mounts on 10 inch centers (side to side) will NOT fit.
I recommend using a slider hitch such as # RP30051 which can slide back 10 inches to provide more clearance when turning.
But, if you have a B&W Turnover ball hitch (hitch is what adapter # DM6140 fits) then I recommend the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W which is not only a slider but allows some adjustment of the head position on the hitch base.
I have linked some videos of the Companion hitch for you.
