The Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20,000 lbs # BWRVB3405 is the sliding base for the 5th wheel head # BWRVC3006. The used product RU-16-B5-00310756 you mentioned is a fully functioning sliding base that was used for a test fit and got some surface scratches. It will perform as new. You can click on the used product and see the photos we have of the scratches and dents to see if you are still interested.

Let me know if you have other questions.
