Today we're going to take a look at the B&W Replacement Slider Base for the B&W Companion Slider Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch. This has a 20,000 pound weight capacity. Now this part is the replacement base that will fit the B&W Companion Slider Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch. We do sell that separately on our website and that Companion Slider Fifth Wheel Hitch will give you the extra room you need when towing with the shark bed truck. This part is the hitch .. Is the slider hitch base and it's designed to give you 12 inches of slide front to rear so that you can have the extra room to maneuver your fifth wheel trailer. Now this part also can be removed by 2 people and once it's removed it'll give you a clean bed with no rails and since there's no mounting rails it means you can use your truck for more than just towing and the companion slider actually uses the B&W turn over ball under bed mounting system which would be just the opening, the one opening in the middle of the truck bed and you'll see this shank right here, this square shank that's designed to drop right into that turn over ball under bed system and it will lock it into place and then you can use it as a fifth wheel. Now this slider base it will automatically latch in both directions so you only get out of the truck once to move it into the maneuvering position and the sliding mechanism uses tight tolerances so it will move smoothly without any rattle.
Just to show you how this moves right now it's in the locked position, the handle is showing locked and it's in the locked towing position which means its closest to the truck cab or tow vehicle cab. When you want to move it into the maneuvering position you just push the handle up to unlock it and you can see as this slides to the maneuvering position, once you get there it will lock into that position so let's move 12 inches to the rear. When you're done maneuvering and you want to move it back to the towing position, again just unlock it and just slide it back and you can see once it slides into the towing position the 12 inches closest to the cab it will flip the handle and lock it into that position. Now you notice these pivot arms right here, they do have the polyurethane bushings on the top that's what your hitch handle will sit on. Now the Hitch Head we do sell separately on our website also. You pick the one that's designed to fit your application.
Now these pivot arms you can raise or lower and get 3 vertical height settings either 17 inches, 18 inches or 19 inches and you do that by mounting on the slider base, there's multiple rows of holes and then there's 2 rows of holes on the pivot arm so just by putting it in different positions you can gain those 3 hitch height settings. The hitch height is always measured from the truck bed to top of the hitch head and just to show you also, if you reverse the pivot arms you could actually gain extra cab clearance. I only put one bolt on this one over here just to give you an idea. You take that bolt out and we'll show you the shape of the pivot arm. You can see how it's got a shape to it so if it's this way you can see the bushings are sitting right back here. If you flip it over to this side, you can see it will move it a little bit, give you extra cab clearance by just reversing the pivot arms.
Depending on your application, how much clearance you'll need and what height you need, you can set it up to fit your application correctly. This is a very quick and simple installation, again as I mentioned the base will install in the ball hole of the B&W Turnover Under Bed Mounting system that's shanked underneath here I mentioned so you can either pull a goose neck or a fifth wheel using the same system. This is a steel construction, it has a nice gray powder coat finish over it for corrosion resistance. This part is made in the USA. The gross towing capacity is 20,000 pounds the tongue weight or pin weight capacity is 5,000 pounds. I mentioned the travel is 12 inches front to back.
I mentioned the hitch height depending where you put your pivot arms will be 17 inches, 18 inches or 19 inches. That should do it for the review of the B&W Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch with a 20,000 pound weight capacity.

This replacement unit fits into your B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck hitch to provide the base for the B&W Companion Slider fifth-wheel trailer hitch (BWRVK3400 - sold separately). Offers 12" of travel.The base for my hitch shipped quickly by freight. The delivery was able to drop it in the bed of my truck so I wouldn’t have to lift it in. Install was easy and I was able to pull my 5th wheel that day. Great product and great company. 584307
Purchased my second hitch from etrailer along with several other items and I had a small issue with one electrical plug that was taken care of immediately by etrailer. All of the staff I talked with especially Cathy T was more than helpful this is about the 6th item I have purchased and they are the first ones I turn to for solutions and serivce and prices A+ all the way 399301
Best choice for short bed trucks. You can make tight turns without hitting your cab with the trailer and doing $1,000s in damage. 519264
B&W makes a great hitch, however if you are in need of slider I think there are better options. The slide mechanism would bind and not slide. The unit is HEAVY. 652266
