When it comes to installing a B&W 5th wheel hitch in your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 that already has the B&W gooseneck portion The B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 25,000 pounds # BWRVK3050 is only meant for flatbeds. You would need The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000 pounds # BWRVK3500-5W.
This 5th wheel hitch will sit right into your square opening on you B&W gooseneck and give you the 5th wheel capabilities. It has a 2-piece design for simple setup and removal.
