B and W Goose Neck and 5th Wheel Towing Solution for 2014 Ram 2500
Question:
which gooseneck turnover ball assembly do in need to purchase that is compatable with the BWRVK3400 adaptor? Or does it come with it? My new truck 2014 Ram 2500 standard bed does not have anything in the bed yet want to purchase everything i need at one time. I pull a horse trailer gooseneck and also a 5th wheel camper. Please advise.

For instances like yours where both goose neck and 5th wheel trailers will be pulled by the same tow vehicle, your new 2014 Ram 2500 will benefit from use of a B&W system that can handle both, such as the Companion Slider Goose-neck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400. This kit works on trucks with coil springs.
This item is the 5th wheel portion of the system and consists of the 18K-rated hitch on a slider base. This 5th wheel hitch installs on a goose neck ball, which you will need to purchase separately. For the 6-foot standard bed you will use install kit # BWGNRK1384-5W, which is both the goose neck hitch portion as well as the mounting point for the Companion 5th wheel slider hitch.
Videos for both B&W products are linked for your review.
For a wiring harness you can use # PK11893-11932 from Pollak which also is shown in the linked video.
