B&W Companion Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 Short Bed
Question:
I have 2018 Chevy 4x4 high country 4 doors with the 6foot 7inch bed with the BandW goose neck ball system already installed. I am looking at companion 5th wheel hitch will I need the slider or no slide to pull the Grand Design Reflection 28BH 5th wheel RV?

Helpful Expert Reply:
I pulled up pictures of your Grand Design Reflection 28BH and since it's nose is not tapered at all you'd need the Companion Slider hitch # BWRVK3400 to allow you the needed turning clearance since your 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 has a short bed. Sometimes if the trailer has a tapered nose you can tow it with a stationary hitch in a short bed truck but that is not the case in your situation.
