Is There a Sliding Base Available for the B&W Companion for a 2020 Ford F-250 w/ Prep Package

Question

Question:

I have a BandW hitch for my 5th wheel RV, Model RVB3300. Our new RV gives me clearance problems on turns. Is there a sliding base available that I can install with my current hitch head?

Expert Reply:

Yes, there is a sliding base option available. The RVB3300 comes back to the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVB3300 which fits the Ford 5th Wheel Prep Package.

The correct sliding base for your B&W Companion hitch head that fits in the Ford Prep Package is the Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVB3370.
