Installing A B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch In A B&W Underbed Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
B&W Companion on B&W gooseneck ball. I have a 2016 GMC 3500 HD DRW. Already has BandW under bed turn all. How difficult is it to install Companion? Non puck. Do I need to drive or does it attach only to ball?

Expert Reply:
The B&W Companion # BWRVK3500-5W is super easy to install into a B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1016-5W. You'll just need to pull back the locking handle on the hitch and remove the ball. Then simply drop in the # BWRVK3500-5W, which has a post that will fit down into the gooseneck hitch, and pushing the locking handle into the locked position and you'll be ready to couple your 5th wheel trailer to tow.
