Can B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used with Reese Sidewinder
Question:
i have the BandW Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch installed on my 2009 silverado 2500hd, and i also have a 5th wheel camper with a side winder hitch, is there any way to use BWRVK3500 or any other product to pull my camper?

Expert Reply:
The B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3500 is not compatible with rotating pin boxes even if you lock out the turret. The reason for this has to do with the the excess torque on the single connection point and its inability to withstand this. Therefore, your best option would be to remove the rotating pin box and replace it with a standard pin box. For this, we have the Lippert 1621 5th Wheel Pin Box part # LC1191191 which is rated for 15,500 lbs and part # LC1387883 which is rated for 21,000 lbs.
The only other option would be to remove the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch completely and install a standard fifth wheel hitch.
