Question:
I have already bought this base from you for another truck, but would like to know if it will fit a cm flat bed with a goose neck ball hitch?

Expert Reply:
Hey Ray, since flat beds sit up higher that creates two issues for fifth wheel hitches to attach to gooseneck balls. The shank that would fit into the gooseneck hitch opening would need to be taller and also the base needs to be shorter to compensate for the increased height of the bed. So the correct base you would need is the part # BWRVB3055 but you also would need to for sure have a B and W gooseneck hitch in your truck and not a standard flat bed gooseneck hitch that would have came with the flat bed.
Otherwise a hitch adapter like the part # DM8550046 would be what you would need.

Hey Ray, did the flatbed base or the Demco adapter end up working better with your CM flat bed and gooseneck hitch? Knowing what setup worked could really help others trying to match a fifth wheel to a flatbed truck.
