How to Determine if Companion Slider Hitch Will Fit in Truck Bed with Toolbox
Question:
will BandW Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs Item # BWRVK3050 fit in a ram 3500 mega cab 6ft bed not flat bed with the tool box in I dont have much room

Expert Reply:
The problem is the Flatbed Fifth Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3050 has a shank that will be too tall to allow the hitch to rest on the bed of the truck since flat bed goosenecks are recessed and even if the hitch would fit the bed the head height would be way too low to allow the trailer to be towed level.
How wide is your toolbox? Do you have any type of hitch installed in the bed of the truck? If it's a Turnoverball gooseneck hitch how much distance is between the gooseneck ball opening and the toolbox?
I spoke to my contact at B and W and she verified that from the center of where your gooseneck ball attaches to the front of the B and W Companion Slider Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Slider part # BWRVK3400 measures 15 inches. So if you were to measure from the center of your gooseneck ball forward 15 inches you would know if this would interfere with your toolbox.
