Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch to Fit B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck in 2006 Dodge Ram 3500

Question:

Good morning, I am looking for a 5th wheel that will work with my BM goose neck, Can you recommend any. I Have a 2006 dodge ram 3500 with a 8 foot bed, I hate having rails in my bed cause I haul a lot of wood and other thing,

I wasn't able to find reference to a BM gooseneck hitch, could you have meant a B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck hitch?

If that's the case, we absolutely have a 5th wheel hitch that will mount using the B&W Turnover Ball hitch.I'd recommend the B&W Companion, part # BWRVK3500-5W. The Companion has lots of great features, but two of the best are the 1 inch thick hitch jaws that contact the king pin all the way around its 360º circumference. This feature, when combined with the polyurethane bushings provides a smooth ride with reduced rattling, bangling and clanging. The hitch features a non-binding latch handle that works, even when you're trying to unlatch on uneven terrain. The hitch will mount directly into the Turnover Ball Gooseneck hitch, and when the Companion is removed, you won't have any rails sitting in your truck bed to contend with.

If you'd like to install a trailer connector in the truck bed so you don't have to sling the trailer connector up over the tailgate, you can install one using part # HM42137.

I've linked to a product demonstration video for the B&W Companion as well as to an install video for the in-bed trailer connector I recommended.
