5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility with B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Already Installed

Question:

5th wheel compatibility w/B&W Turnover Goose ball. Does the fact that I have installed all that hardware below the bed of my CCLB 2008 F-350 make any difference in considering a 5th wheel set-up?

Great question. The fact that you already have a B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck system on your 2008 Ford F-350 does change your options for a 5th wheel hitch as there are compatible options but adding traditional base rails is not one of them.

Because you have the Crew Cab Long Box, I recommend the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # BWRVK3500. This hitch is designed to work perfectly with your gooseneck hitch where the current system works as an underbed mount. This hitch is made extremely well and is a customer favorite as no additional adapters are required and the quality of the hitch is really unmatched by other manufacturers.

If you already have another hitch or want to use a different brand hitch, then I recommend the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches # DM6140 which will allow you to use industry standard hitches like the Curt A20 # C16140 you asked from.
