Video Transcript for Review of B and W 5th Wheel Hitch - Fixed 5th Wheel to Gooseneck - BW65RV

Hi, everyone, Steven here with etrailer. Today, we're taking a look at this B&W 5th Wheel setup. It's going to include a replacement gooseneck pin box and you also get the OE puck style gooseneck ball and safety chain tied on anchor points with the safety chains and hardware as well. Now folks, this is a custom fit application. Make sure you're always checking the fit guide to be sure the parts you're looking at are gonna fit your specific setup, and you can do that over at etrailer.com. This one I can tell you, it fits a lot of different Fords, from the F250, all the way up to even some 450s, different years, the GMC Sierras and Chevy Silverados, all the way up to a couple different years as well as some Nissan Titan.

So again, make sure you're checking the fit guide to make sure you're getting what you need for your specific setup. Now, if you're looking for that cleaner, more versatile way to tow that fifth wheel, this is a great option, because as I mentioned, it's a one package, right This will replace that fifth wheel kingpin traditional connection and make it a gooseneck connection. Why is that important Well, now I don't have that big, massive, heavy fifth wheel hitch that I got to move in and out of my truck when I want to use it for something else. Now with that puck system that came from the factory, I can simply convert the kingpin. Now everything is on the camper permanently, the weight and everything.

And now the heaviest thing I have to lift is some safety chain tie downs and a gooseneck ball, right So number one is that. Number two, this uses dual access cushion. So this fits a Lippert Rhino pin box. And you can't see it too good unfortunately, but inside of here is a large rubber jounce, and that's going to give you dual access cushioning, not just up and down, but also front to back as well. It's going to minimize impacts from the road.

It's going to give you a smoother, more controlled towing experience, better ride, better ride for your equipment as well. Hooking up is going to be a lot easier because now you're hooking up with a kind of funneled shape going on here and down to that gooseneck ball. And then you can easily, from the side of the truck, pull that safety chain back to uncouple when the time comes or that cable there to uncouple when the time comes. Moving over here, you've got the B&W puck system. These are going to go into your tie down points or your safety change.

Simply flip this up to twist it to put it in place or take it out. And then always make sure that it's down whenever it's locked in and be sure it's locked in before you take off towing and everything. Same thing with the ball. The ball's easy to put in and out. You got a little lever here, spring loaded. You can see it kind of pulling the pin. That's going to allow you to lock it down in place for towing and then lift it back up and out when you're not towing. When you're not towing, you can put it in this nice hard plastic case. It's molded perfectly to fit all this gear inside of it. And then, of course, you do have two of the safety chains. And per all 50 states that I looked up, you are required by law to have it on a gooseneck trailer. And those are included as well for easy hookup and easy use. Again, folks, this is made to work with the Lippert Rhino pin boxes. You can check out the exact model numbers as well at etrailer.com. This one's rated at 25,000 pounds with the max pin weight of 4,500 pounds capacity. Now the gooseneck ball, that's rated for 30,000 pounds, but in any kind of towing setup, your least rated component is what you should never go over, obviously. So in this case, that 25,000 pounds is where we want to max out and not go over. Well, folks, I think we went over everything real quick. That's our look at this B&W 5th Wheel conversion to gooseneck pin box with included puck system connections. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
