Can Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for B&W Gooseneck Be Used With Anderson 5th Wheel Hitch

Question:

I have a 2012 Ram 3500 short bed 4wd truck with a BandW turn over ball gooseneck hitch. My other truck is a 2001 ram 2500 short bed has a rail system in the bed. I used the 2001 to tow our 5th wheel with an Andersen ultimate 5th wheel connection rail mounted hitch. For the new truck I would like to use the same hitch with an adapter to go from gooseneck to rails. I am thinking the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for BandW Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches Item # DM6140 will work with my 2012 Ram gooseneck hitch and my Andersen rail mounted ultimate connection. Can you confirm that the Andersen is compatible with the rail configuration of the Demco adapter? If not, is there another solution to utilize my Andersen and my gooseneck without having to buy a completely new hitch?

Your Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch like the # AM3200 fits industry standard rails. The Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches # DM6140 is a universal/industry standard rail system. So yes, I can confirm that this will work on your 2012 Ram 3500 and allow you to use your Anderson hitch.
