B and W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch Installation - 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 BWRVK3710 Video

Choosing the right height setting for your 5th wheel hitch is a combination of a few different variables. First of all you want your towing setup to be as level as possible. With your Montana High Country 340BH level you will want to measure from…

Gen-Y does offer a fifth wheel pin box to gooseneck coupler that can fit in place of the Lippert Turning Point pin box with the part #GY48GR. At this time they do not offer a pin box replacement (no gooseneck adapter) that can fit in place of the…

Yes, Lippert only approves of the Reese Goosebox so you would be voiding your frame warranty if you installed a Gen-Y gooseneck pin box. That being said, the warranty is typically only a year so it's not really a loss. Gen-Y offers the #GY48GR as…

Beds shorter than 8 foot do commonly need a slider hitch David, but a lot of modern fifth wheel trailers are now made with tapered noses to help and in a lot of cases a slider isn't required. So if the trailer you plan to tow has a tapered nose…

A wedge is needed, yes, and the Lippert Turning Point pin box does come with a universal wedge, but it is not a very good fit with the B&W Companion #BWRVK3710. So I highly recommend instead using the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth…

While it is recommended to use a sliding 5th wheel for a short bed truck so that you have plenty of clearance for sharp turns, it is not necessarily required as it depends on your truck and trailer configuration. If you are using the same trailer…

I looked up your 2021 Jayco 321RSTS and it has a tapered nose design which would allow your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500HD short bed to tow it with a fixed hitch since you have a longer "short" bed at 6-3/4 feet. This means the 20k Companion hitch…
