You tow a 5th wheel but still use your truck bed for lumber or pallets. This system gives you a complete 5th wheel hitch with a B&W underbed mounting kit, then breaks into three pieces when you're not towing so it takes up less space.
This Demco Recon Stealth separates into three sections when you need to remove it from the truck bed. That changes the job from pulling one large hitch to lifting smaller sections one at a time. The base also folds down when the hitch is not assembled, so it does not leave the same upright profile in the bed. The included MOLLE panel mounts at the front of the bed so you can strap the components in place instead of finding space for them in your garage.
The included B&W underbed kit installs beneath your truck bed and gives you a solid mounting point for the Recon hitch without adding above-bed rails. This is the Turnoverball system, one of the most widely used gooseneck setups, and it doubles as a complete gooseneck hitch when the fifth wheel is removed. A single hole in the bed serves as the connection point, keeping the surface clear when you're not towing.
Once the fifth wheel hitch is removed, the bed is open for hauling materials or equipment. The gooseneck ball can be flipped upside down and stored in the hitch, leaving a flat surface for cargo. Safety chain loops sit flush in the bed, so nothing sticks up or gets in the way when you're using the truck for other jobs.
The hitch head uses a wraparound jaw and locking bar that fully enclose the kingpin. That tighter fit cuts down on the movement you can get from looser coupler styles at the hitch. The head pivots front-to-back and side-to-side, which helps it stay aligned as the truck and trailer move through turns, dips, and uneven ground.
This hitch is not compatible with rotating pin boxes, since it is designed for a standard fixed kingpin connection.
The upright uses stacked pin holes so the hitch head can be set at different heights. That lets you match the trailer to the truck more closely instead of towing nose high or nose low. The hitch connects directly to the underbed mounting point, so the adjustment happens at the hitch without changing the setup underneath.
Note: Not compatible with rotating pin boxes.
