Video Transcript for Review of B and W 5th Wheel Hitch - Lippert Rhino 5th Wheel to Gooseneck - BW52RV

Hi everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Let's take a look at this B&W fifth wheel setup. So folks, if you're looking for a cleaner, more versatile way to tow that fifth wheel, this complete towing setup by B&W will combine a replacement gooseneck pin box with the OEM puck system for those Ram and Dodge Ram trucks with the appropriate fitting. So make sure you're taking the fit guide here at etrailer. Be sure you get the right ones for your specific needs.

As I mentioned before, this is going to work with the Lippert Rhino pin box. It's a pin box that's rated for trailers up to 25,000 pounds capacity with a max pin weight of 4,500 pounds. And this will convert that fifth wheel from a traditional key pin again to that gooseneck ball hookup. And as I said, that's going to give you the best of both worlds, right So now you can convert that fifth wheel to the gooseneck ball hookup, allow you to tow it with the included OE puck system with the ball that drops into place by B&W. And then when you're not towing, you get your bed back, right That's the number one complaint a lot of truck drivers tell us that, "Hey, I love this equipment.

I love this equipment, but I can't use them both together. I lose my bed space." So in this world, now you can do that. So replace the pin box, get the puck system attachments, and then you're good to go. And to me, what makes this really stand out is this has a built-in ride quality. So you can't see it there too good from your angle, but inside this hole, there's a large SumoSpring suspension technology or a large jounce, if you will, big rubber jounce.

And that's going to absorb the front to back chucking, up and down impacts, give you a smoother, more controlled towing experience. As I said, hooking up's going to be easier as well. You have a nice large funnel kind of design here on the front. So whenever it's time to hook up, you can easily see that, get it lined up easier and fall down over that ball a lot easier. And then when it's time to unhook, you have this nice pull cable conveniently here at the back so you don't even have to get into the bed of the truck.

Obviously you got your safety chains included. Keep in mind some of the newer Ram trucks, you may need some longer chains. I don't know which ones exactly because some of them are just a little different. So keep that in mind. But most likely these should work for you. As I mentioned, the included OEM puck system is built for convenience because it just simply pops in. If you've never used this, you simply pull the handle here and this will allow the retaining balls here to retract back down and then going back out whenever you need to use it and you can pull this out. And then the same thing with the pucks over here. You can lift these up, twist them where you need to put them in place and then lock them back in place. Then of course you have the rubber plug here in the center. You can put that in the bed of the truck when you're not towing. And they even give you this nice hard plastic case. It's been molded perfectly to fit everything inside of the case when you're not using it. So then you can just simply throw this in the toolbox, maybe the bed, backseat, something like that. And then you're ready to go. So folks, again, I mentioned this fits the Lippert Rhino pin boxes. We talked about the puck system attachments, the safety chains included. This is a great option for you if you're looking for a way to again, get that full bed use back and just make it a little bit easier on yourself as well. We know fifth wheel hitches are super heavy. This is super heavy as well, but once you get it bolted in place with the included hardware, it's going to be on the trailer, on the fifth wheel ready to go. I'm Steve with etrailer. Thanks for watching, have a great day.
