This hitch is made for serious towing. With a gross towing weight of 20,000 lbs and a vertical load limit of 5,000 lbs, it’s built to handle large fifth wheels and heavy loads without flinching. The thick, 1" dual jaws wrap completely around the king pin for a 360-degree hold that cuts down on rattle and movement. That solid connection gives you the steady feel you want when rolling down the highway with a full-size camper or toy hauler in tow.
Towing with a short-bed truck can make tight turns a challenge, but the hitch’s built-in slider gives you 12" of fore-and-aft travel for extra clearance. When backing into a campsite or maneuvering at low speeds, you can slide the trailer rearward to keep it clear of the cab. It’s a simple mechanical solution that makes slow-speed turning easier and helps protect your truck and trailer from contact in sharp angles.
The fully articulating head pivots both front-to-back and side-to-side so it can move naturally with the trailer. Polyurethane bushings sit under the head to cushion movement and reduce metal-on-metal contact. That setup helps minimize chucking and rattling, giving you a smoother ride that feels stable over rough roads or uneven terrain.
The cam-action handle design makes latching and unlatching simple—even when parked on uneven ground. It lets you release the jaws smoothly without fighting binding pressure between the truck and trailer. Once unlatched, a quick pull forward is all it takes for the jaws to open. The handle also accepts a padlock (sold separately) if you want to lock up for extra security while hitched.
When you’re not towing, this setup comes apart quickly so you can use your bed again. The hitch head lifts off easily from the slider base, and the Turnoverball gooseneck system below leaves only a single hole in the bed when removed. You can even flip the hitch ball upside down for a clean surface. It’s a tough, rail-free design that keeps your bed open when it’s time to haul gear instead of a trailer.
This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution king pins. Do not use any device that changes the pivot point of your trailer's king pin with this hitch.

Hello, neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today, we're looking at the B&W Turnover Gooseneck Custom Installation Kit for your Chevy and GMC trucks. And folks, this is a custom fit application, make sure you're getting the right parts for your specific vehicle. Check out our homepage, etrailer.com, top center of the page where it says my vehicle, enter your year, make, and model, cab size, bed length, that kind of stuff. Make sure you're getting the right parts the first time for your specific vehicle. Now, folks, this rail kit will let you install your B&W Turnover Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, which is sold separately.
And then when all that's installed together, it would look something like this in the bed of your truck. So as you can see, it's a nice, clean, super low profile. You got the two safety chain hooks that are spring loaded on the outside, and the ball is flipped over and in the stored position. You could then flip it over and have it in the tow position. Again, that Turnover Gooseneck Trailer Hitch is sold separately.
I'll go ahead and put that up there on the screen in case you need that. Now, all the hardware here is gonna come with the install kit. I've also got four bolts and nuts and washers and lock washers that you don't see here that I've already mocked up the actual demo here with today. Now, what these guys here are, if you've never seen these before, you're not familiar with, some are spacers and some are actually what will help you hold nuts and bolts in place when you're doing the install on some hard to reach places. You've got a little rubber O-ring here.
Check the instructions that are included to make sure you install that in the correct area. And again, everything here I've kinda got loosely fit together just to kinda show you what would look like in the bed of the vehicle. It may be twisted around depending on the orientation that you're looking. These side brackets, folks, these are gonna mount directly to the frame of your truck. So there should be very minimal drilling, if any at all, installing this custom bracket kit onto the frame of your trucks.
The weight resistant or the weight capacity is limited to that of your vehicle. So let's say your truck's rated at, oh, I don't know, 20K. Then, just because you add this, you cannot pull 30K if that gooseneck ball, let's say was rated at 30K. So keep in mind, your capacity of your vehicle is always gonna be whatever they rated it at from the factory. Now, folks, this is made in the USA, it's great American-made steel, it's a limited lifetime warranty. It's got a nice, beautiful, gray powder coat finish on it, it's gonna resist corrosion and rust. B&W's been around for ages. If you've had their products before, you know what great items they make. And also, the quality they go into with not only their checks and balances when they're making stuff, the tolerances, and making sure stuff fits right the first time. So a very great company to work with that we partner with here at etrailer as well. So again, folks, check the installation instructions when you're installing this to make it easier. Maybe watch one of our videos here at etrailer.com to assist you as well. Folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our look at this B&W Turnover Gooseneck Custom Installation Kit. I'm Steven, thanks so much for watching. Stay safe and have a great day.

I pull a 19,000 Fuzion 429 toy hauler & it works great

It is still the best 5th wheel hitch that Ive owned. Very minor maintenance required. Just a little white lithium grease on the swivel points and a Teflon plate instead of grease.

The B & W Companion hitch has serviced us very well for the last year. Weve been out on about 8 trips during the past year.

Very Good, just wish I had got without slider as never use this part. When I tried to use it it would the fifth wheel would hit to of tail gate. I have no problem at cab of truck when forward. E trailer is my first choice when I make a purchase for my truck.

Every thing has been working good. Seems to take a good jolt to get it to slide with the trailer attached. Still a great product

Youll want to make sure that the slider rails are lubricated. Also keep in mind that if the truck and trailer are at different angles and theres a lot of pressure placed on the sliding mechanism, it can bind.

A year later, and it still works the same. Slider still doesnt work. but havent needed it. One thing I have learned is to make sure the lug from the attachment is lubricated before placed into the receiver. After about 8 months of being in the bed, I tried to remove it. Whoah! That was a son of a gun. Finally got it to break free, and then it lifted out. both the lug of the companion hitch, and the receiver of the B&W are nicely powder coated. that powder coating locked together. Nothing patience and a pry bar couldnt fix. But I dont want a repeat. Over all, I may look at something easier for our next travel season.
