The Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3300 only works with the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVC3006. The Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVC3200 will not work unfortunately.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.
