This replacement unit fits into your B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck hitch to provide the base for the B&W Companion fifth-wheel trailer hitch.The B&W 3500 Base unit is extremely well built. Putting it together and installing in existing turn-over ball gooseneck hitch was a snap. Great information on etrailer's site. After transferring the old 3000 Companion to a newer truck(2013 GMC 3500HD) was never satisfied with performance seemed to be denting truck bed. So glad the 3500 was created and upgrading to 20,000 lb capacity is a big plus. The older hitch head fit perfect as stated in etrailer's information. Everything worked smooth from ordering to shipping(free!) to installation. Thanks so much.
This B&W RVB3500 base unit is a very good, sturdy product. The head unit mounts securely to the base quickly and easily. The workmanship is top notch, and the base is easy to assemble. I like the fact that the base unit can be easily removed/installed in my truck bed, and that when removed it leaves no mounting hardware that could interfere with use of the bed for hauling cargo. eTrailer.com is a great company to purchase from!
I made an online order with etrailer.com for a B&W Companion Replacement Base on 9/11/19 and received an email with tracking information and an estimated arrival date of 9/17/19. The base arrived 9/13/19 (two days after my order) in perfect condition. I also received an email containing a toll-free number to call if I had any questions or needed any assistance. I gave etrailer.com a 5 star rating and will not hesitate to use them for any future purchases. They are OUTSTANDING!

The new hitch was higher and allowed my fifth wheel to clear the bed cover I installed on my truck. It was as described and arrived very quick. Thank you for the great service.
Bob B - 11/16/2020Simply the best. Been towing large fifthwheels for many years and tried different brands. Have used this brand fiftwheel hitch on 3 different trucks. This one has a higher tow capacity than the older version. B&W is the best on the market period and can't go wrong getting it from etrailer.
Courtney was a big help placing my order. I received the B&W hitch in 2 days! Thanks
I was completely satisfied with this purchase. The shipping was fast, product was complete and assembly was easy thanks to the perfect instructions that were enclosed.
I was using the RVK3000 base with my old truck. Didnt want to spend the $$ for a whole new hitch as it had only 1500 miles on it. Saw another review on this base and that the old head would work with it, so I hesitantly ordered it. Dang, it got here fast with the shipping upgrade. Box was a little tattered thanks to UPS, but then again it weighed a ton, and all the parts were there. Configured my arms and nervously placed the 5th head on it, and perfect!!! 1.5 inches taller as my 2017 F350 needed and no other adjustments to my trailers 5th wheel pin box thank you !! I am a loyal B&W fan, and etrailer is #1 in my book too... All during this christmas rush !!
Dan C - 12/20/2018Love the new base for my 5th wheel. The easy to use pre-load screw makes tightening down the system much quicker and easier. Also like the poly bars fit in the truck bed slots to minimize side movement. My older base was loaned to a friend and he bent the framework by not tightening the bar to the pin. I was glad to see a higher rated replacement with better features available.
Matthew - 11/06/2018The service and communication from the crew at etrailer.com was amazing. I got emailed tracking alerts along the way and they helped ensure that I'd receive my replacement base before my next trip. etrailer.com is turning out to be my new go-to supplier for my trailer needs.
the gooseneck hitch base is a great product for B&M. just purchasing the base allows you to use the 5th wheel receiver instead of purchasing both units if you already had the standard rail set up. I preferred to stick with the B&M hitch because I was satisfied with the set up I already had. I feel the gooseneck set up has less noise than the bed in rail style.
Very fast delivery, excellent customer service
Although the box wasn't in very good shape, (Not surprised given the weight of what was in it), the hitch appeared to be complete and in excellent condition. I plan on having it installed next week.
The product was excellent this is a product review I do not understand how the other reviews post about service . I am still looking for the service review.... But THE PRODUCT was as I would expect a MANUFACTURER to make it... Thank you B&W Hitches
Wonderful sturdy B&W hitch. Easy to remove from the truck when you need to use the bed. Quick secure hook up to trailer with quiet secure towing. Couldn’t be happier!
Love the rvb-3500 converion kit that brought my B&W Companion hitch from 18, 000 to 20, 000 towing capacity. Etrailer did great on getting my product to me quickly and at a great price!
Great hitch. My trailer across the scales is 18450. Glad to see that this hitch has been upgraded to handle my 43 foot triple axle cyclone toy hauler. Pulling the trailer with a 2012 dodge ram dually crew cab 6.7 Cummings.
This is great. I upgraded my Companion to the newer version for added towing capacity and the extra height helped too. The B&W system is awesome. I pull a 38 ft Toyhauler and this sytem works great. Cathy in customer service took my order on a Monday and I received it on Wednesday in California! She was a treat to work with. I called regarding a component that didn't come with the kit. It wasn't supposed to, but they contacted B & W and they are sending me the part at no charge. Buy your stuff here, you'll be happy you did.
Very excited about the new B&W Base. I have recently purchase a second truck and wanted this base to be configured .
I thought shipping was going to be delayed because I had not received a tracking number as quick as I thought I should. I sent an email and received a response quickly explaining they were extremely busy and would have me one ASAP. The product shipped that day and I received it in 2 days!! Great to have free shipping that is also quick shipping! Thank you!
Exactly what I wanted. Etrailer has never let me down and their prices are normally way less.
It is heavy but slid it on a Harbor Freight cheapie furniture dolly and rolled it around in the pickup bed and it worked great. It is higher than my 3000 so I'll need to adjust it down a bit. but is so much better built than the old 3000 and is so much easier to install.
The companion base I ordered was used as stated. Had a few scratches as I saw in the pictures. Got it at a good price everything was as stated and instructions. Was shipped on time. Good experience!
I upgraded from the 3000 series to this 3500. I loved the ease of use before, the new design is even better. Easy assembly, great design. The only way to go to make your truck multi use (5th wheel and gooseneck). Fast shipping right to my front door (132 lbs shipping weight, I bet my FedEx guy wondered what in the world I was getting). I'll keep etrailer in mind for any other purchases in the future.
Great product which will help raise my 5th wheel camper 1.5 inches higher than my model 3000 base. This will accommodate the extra height of the bed rails on my 2015 Chevrolet truck. Dealing with e trailer was quick and easy. Their service is excellent. The new model 3500 base came in great shape...no shipping damage....even arrived one day ahead of schedule! Excellent experience for me!
