Yes, the Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 25,000 lbs item # BWRVC3006 does fit in the Companion Slider bases. The capacity will be reduced to 20,000 lbs though. There are two options depending on whether or not your Sierra 3500 has the factory puck system. If you don't have the puck system you will want the Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVB3405. If you do have the puck system you will need the Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVB3775.

The B&W Companion weighs over 250 lbs with the slider. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.

Don't forget your lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # RP83002 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup.

Answer 1

The Patriot fifth wheel heads and the Companion hitch heads are different enough that they are not interchangeable. If you need a Companion head you'd want the part #BWRVC3006 or if you want a Patriot hitch head you'd want the #BWRVC3200.

The Patriot and Companion hitches use different heads so you cannot swap them. So since you are wanting a Patriot slider hitch you'd need the part #BWRVK3270. It should be pretty easy to sell your old Companion hitch second hand as they are very…

The Replacement Head Assembly #BWRVC3006 is compatible with the B&W Companion hitches but not the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitches like what you have with part #BWRVK3200. Since you have the Patriot you will need the part #BWRVC3200 instead. The…

I was able find out that your MORryde pin box RRB72-221002300 is a replacement for the Leland 7920 and 7921 pin boxes so for a Trailair to replace that you'd need the #UF35-946208.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
