Can B and W Companion Hitch be Used with Turning Point Pin Box
Question:
Im wanting to use a B and W companion fifth wheel in a short bed Dodge p/u with a turning point hitch on a Rockwood fifth wheel trailer. Will they work together properly/ Thx,

Expert Reply:
If the B and W Companion hitch is the # BWRVK3600 which fits the OEM rail kit of a Ram truck it can be used with a pivoting pin box like the Turning Point but if the hitch attaches to a gooseneck hitch via a center post then it can not be used with it unless you lock out the Turning Point.
The pivoting pin boxes stress the hitches differently so the hitch will need to connect in four places to the truck bed and not just with the center post.
