5th Wheel Base Rails for 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with 5-3/4 Foot Bed
Question:
I have a Jayco Eagle 5th wheel camper equiped with an Anderson hitch that connects to gooseneck ball in truck bed. Will this work on chevy silverado with short bed?

You linked to the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 that mounts using compatible industry-standard, above-bed rails. For your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I suggest the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # RP56015-53, as this is confirmed for the 5-3/4 Foot Bed. However, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 is not a slide type hitch so you will need to have a rotating turret type pin box on your 5th wheel and verify that there is enough clearance for turning.
You will also need the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels, # SWW-06.
The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter, # AM3200 is not compatible with 5th wheel RV's that have a rotating turret or truck beds less than 6'.
