How to Convert B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch For Puck System in 2020 GMC Sierra 3500

Question:

Hello, I have a companion 5th wheel that mounted on my old truck using the turnoverball. I now have a 2020 GMC denali that uses a different ball mount is there an adapter I can get to still use my companion

It looks like your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 has the factory prep package with the puck system, and there is a solution for you to convert your B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 to fit those pucks, but there isn't an adapter because of the unique mounting of that Companion in the square gooseneck of the Turnoverball. So what you will need to do instead is replace the base with the Companion base that fits your '20 Sierra 3500's pucks.

Since the Companions use the same head assembly, you an use either of the following bases:

- Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC - 25,000 lbs # BWRVB3715

- Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC - 20,000 lbs # BWRVB3710
.
Either of these will work and allow you to mount your Companion in the puck system of your GMC.
