I order a slider base for my B&W 5th wheel hitch. I had a long bed pickup with the Ford puck system but my new F350 has the B&W turnover ball Installed. Slider base is as solid as can be, has a clean and beautiful finish that will last a decade or more. Slider hitch mover easily and is just watching I needed.

This is a well built product! I would buy a B&W Hitch again! It is a little on the heavy side but I would rather have that since you are pulling a lot of weight and you need a substantial hitch. I have an electric hoist setup to remove it from my truck. I know some will say go to the Anderson hitch but I've already spoken with two people that I have run into on camping trips that have had their Anderson hitches fail.

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
by: Erik L.06/03/2019
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.
by: Chris11/20/2018
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.
by: CharlieC06/08/2018
Best choice for short bed trucks. You can make tight turns without hitting your cab with the trailer and doing $1,000s in damage.

Can't wait to get it installed.

That means you would need to measure 15 inches from the center of where the gooseneck ball would be of the Turnoverball hitch you have installed in the bed of your truck to determine if you have clearance.
view full answer... - How Much Does B&W Replacement Slider Base # BWRVB3405 WeighB&W Replacement Slider Base # BWRVB3405 weighs approximately 202 pounds. Its shipping weight is 207 pounds so subtract some weight from that to account for the packaging and you are at approximately 202 pounds.

- 20K B&W Slider Base Compatibility with 18K Hitch HeadThe Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20,000 lbs # BWRVB3405 will work with your current hitch head off your 18000 lb slider. I reached out to my contact at B&W to confirm this as well as that your capacity will actually be the 20,000 lbs and not restricted by your current hitch head. So, your current head along with this base will give you the full 20K capacity.
view full answer... - Can B and W Companion Fixed Fifth Wheel Hitch be Converted to a SliderYes, you can use the Companion Slider Base part # BWRVB3405 to replace the fixed legs of you Companion hitch with this to make it a slider.
view full answer... - Can Fixed B&W Companion Hitch be Converted to Slider CompanionYes you can install the head of your B and W Companion hitch onto a Companion slider base. All you need is the part # BWRVB3405. This is the base assembly that your head would attach directly to.

You'd need to measure 15 inches forward of your ball hole now and you'd know where the rail kit would set and if it would interfere with the fuel tank.
view full answer... - Availability of Slider Base for B and W Companion Fifth Wheel HitchWe do have the Companion slider base with part number # BWRVB3405 which would convert the Companion hitch you have now to a slider. In general we don't carry used parts and especially not for parts like this which are heavier and mainly considered a replacement part.
view full answer... - Can B&W Companion Head from Fixed Hitch be Installed on Slider Base for 2017 Ford F-350Our contacts at B&W have indicated that the heads for all of the Companion hitches are the same. That means you can use the head from a fixed Companion hitch and mount it to the slider base # BWRVB3405. If your 2017 Ford F-350 has the factory prep package with the 4 pucks then you would need # BWRVB3370 instead. If the truck just has a gooseneck hitch then make sure it is a B&W gooseneck hitch so you can use slider # BWRVB3405. If it is not a B&W gooseneck hitch then there isn't a base...

view full answer... - Recommended Replacement B&W Companion Bases For Ram OEM Prep PackagesIf you're just trying to replace your Slider Base # BWRVB3405 with one that can match the OEM prep package in your 2021 Ram 3500 then you'll just need the Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Ram Towing Prep Package # BWRVB3670.

view full answer... - Can Head of B and W Companion Hitch for Flat Bed Trucks Fit Other Companion Hitch BasesThe head of your B and W Companion for Flatbed Trucks part # BWRVK3050 is the same as the Companion hitches for the Turnoverball gooseneck hitches so you'd only need the base for the hitch and you'd be set.

view full answer... - Replacement B&W Companion Slider Base For 2019 Ford F-350 With Puck Prep PackageI have a slider base that fits your 2019 Ford F-350 with 6-3/4 ft bed with OEM puck system but the replacement base part # BWRVB3405 is the replacement base for the B&W companion that fits into a B&W Turnover gooseneck hitch ball hole. You need the Replacement Slider Base for B&W OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3370.

view full answer... - B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Compatibility with Locked Reese Sidewinder Pin BoxThe B&W Companion hitch for the Gooseneck Turnoverball is not designed to work with a Sidewinder. The only option to make that combination work is to lock the Sidewinder turret with the bolt designed to do so that it functions like a regular pin box. The Sidewinder cannot be used with a gooseneck adapter of any sort, even this sturdy a hitch, due to the torque on the hitch when the trailer rotates on that turret 22 inches back from the king pin. You will need the king pin to rotate...

- Does B and W Patriot and Companion Hitch Head Fit Same Hitch BaseThe Patriot head is different from the Companion head. I wish I could tell you they were interchangeable but they are not. You'd have to upgrade to a slider Companion hitch like part # BWRVK3400 if your plan is to install a Companion slider hitch in the bed of a truck with a B and W gooseneck hitch.
view full answer... - Used B&W Companion Slider Base FunctionalityThe Replacement Slider Base for B&W Companion Slider 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 20,000 lbs # BWRVB3405 is the sliding base for the 5th wheel head # BWRVC3006. The used product RU-16-B5-00310756 you mentioned is a fully functioning sliding base that was used for a test fit and got some surface scratches. It will perform as new. You can click on the used product and see the photos we have of the scratches and dents to see if you are still interested. Let me know if you have other questions.
view full answer... - Can B and W Companion Hitch Be Upgraded to a Slider HitchYes we do offer just the slider base of the B and W Companion hitch. For that you would want the part # BWRVB3405. The head of your Companion hitch will fit this and you'll have a slider fifth wheel hitch.
view full answer... - Converting a B&W Companion Fixed 5th Wheel Hitch to a Slider Companion for a 2011 Ram 3500I have great news for you. You will not have to add the in-bed rails to switch your B&W Companion hitch over to a slider. You will just need the slider base and the head that you have now will fit right on it. The slider base you need is # BWRVB3405. It installs in the Turnover Ball hole the same way as the regular Companion. I have included a link to a video on the slider base for you.
view full answer... - Getting More Clearance from a B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch in a 2012 Ford F-350My first suggestion is to assemble the Companion hitch that you have so that it is in the furthest back position. I have included a picture that illustrates the furthest back position for the Companion hitch. If that is currently how you have the hitch assembled or if you change it and there is still not enough clearance then you can install the slider base and use the same head that you already have. The slider base by itself is # BWRVB3405 rated for 20,000 pounds.
