Expert Reply:

The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3500 that you referenced has a total weight of 205 pounds. Keep in mind that the Companion is designed so that it can easily and quickly be broken down into 2 manageable components (the base and the head) when it's time to install or remove the hitch.

The head by itself weighs 73 pounds and the base by itself weighs 132 pounds.

B and W does not offer an automatic sliding fifth wheel hitch nor do any of the other manufacturers offer one that fits their Turnoverball system. So for a sliding fifth wheel hitch you'd need their manual slider part #BWRVK3400.
