Will the Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches Work w/ a Recesse

Question:

My set up is a little different, I have 3.25” from my deck down to the top of the pin for the bandw gooseneck . Will this extend long enough? My truck is in between a regular flush bed and recessed gooseneck ball

No, I am sorry it will not work. The Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter item # DM6140 has issues with spray in bed liners sometimes due to the thickness. These only work on regular bed trucks none of the 5th wheel rail adapters designed for B&W Turnoverball Systems work with recessed beds.

If the top of your gooseneck ball doesn't stick out above your recessed well you can use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # DM8550046 and connect directly to the ball.

If that doesn't work then the only option I have for you is the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter item # AM3100. This adapter attaches directly to your 5th wheel trailer's kingpin and allows you to connect to a gooseneck ball.
