B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
Great product and great customer service. Only reason for a 4 star review instead of a 5 star review is that i really didn’t like the large footprint that it took up in my short bed truck. Traveled 2157 miles this year pulling our 33’ Grand Design and it was flawless. Sold our truck recently and up graded to a duramax with a puck system so we also upgraded to a B&W RVK3710. Haven’t pulled with it yet but I am expecting the same flawless operation as the last one. The build quality is extremely rugged and I love the small footprint.
Hitch is as expected. B&W's reputation precedes itself as the best of the best. Also, I now have a higher opinion of this company. The first shipment came with damage like it had been previously installed and was missing parts. Samantha with etrailer was quick to get it completely replaced. Obviously it should have come right the first time, but I am still impressed with how easy she made it for me by having the damaged unit picked up and a new one delivered in time for our trip.

B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs
Superior design. Superb build quality! The B&W Companion slider ticks all the right boxes for me! The instructions are well written with helpful diagrams that make them easy to follow.
I purchased the B&W 20K Companion Slider & Underbed Mount System (UMS) for my 2015 Ford F150 extended cab (with 6 foot bed) over a year ago because it was the only solution that was removable. Construction and finish was very nice and still looks great. Installation wasn't too difficult but the 4” hole in the bed needs to be exact otherwise getting it square will be very difficult. Overall the slider works great but must be mounted directly on the bed and cannot be mounted over a plastic bed liner. Once installed everything worked great however after numerous trips I've yet to need or use the slider backing up as I can turn 80+ degrees without ever hitting or coming close to the truck cab (towing 2018 Cougar Half Ton Series 5th wheel). Also the slider is very heavy (head 75 lbs + base 207 lbs = 282 lbs) to remove and install (takes two people or an overhead winch). Plus the overall hitch weight (head, base & UMS is 394 lbs) puts me very close to the GVWR once the truck & trailer is fully loaded hence in hindsight I probably should have gone with the fixed 5th wheel hitch (total just 318 lbs compared to 400 lbs) instead as it would have saved 81 lbs and costs $489 less but at least I have the option to slide it back if ever needed.

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
Other than it not being tight fit to the bed of truck and rocking a little it works well. Wish it had a better fit in the bed.
I just received the adapter plate, and it appears to be correct, and also appears to be well made. We will know how it fits once we attempt to mount it. The box it was shipped in looked like it had been chewed up and spit out, but since the item is all steel there was no damage.

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
The assembly seems very stout and sturdy overall. Was able to put the unit together in truck bed quite easily. will know more in upcoming weekend when fifth wheel trailer gets pulled home
This hitch has performed its duty for us just fine. Light enough for an a younger person to put in and out of the truck easy enough. Like the fact that I can use a goose ball but still maintain the factory pin box on the camper. This set up in my 2024 6’ 9” bed duramax with our camper is capable of a 90 degree turn on flat ground, not that I take it that far often but it can go in the event I need to. In the event of a mechanical failure on the truck I have plenty of friends with traditional 5th wheel hitch set ups to help us get home. One thing I will note is that going by the factory directions of 30lb. Ft. On the retaining bolt allowed the plate to rotate about 1/4” in transit I now tighten it to 40 and it hasn’t moved since. Overall I’d buy this set up again. Works with my factory gooseneck prep package. I’m running a Reese 2 5/16” ball no problems!

Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs
I like this set up because I can use the goose neck set up when needed a d install the 5th wheel when I need to pull my rv trailer. Easy to change from one to the other
This product fits my fifth wheel hitch well and fits in the truck hitch as well. Have not pulled with it yet as winter storms are here. I expect it to work well. Expensive for as simple as it is. Hoping it is built well. Nice That I was able to get a used one at a reduced rate. Missing the pads so we’ll see what kind of a difference that makes. Very happy with etrailer as a distributor. They make the purchase easy and quick free delivery. They Always follow up on my satisfaction with my purchase’s.

Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs
I got a email to review this so here I am. The attachment to the bed in fantastic. I rate it at 5 stars and an it’s very easy to remove quickly. The king pin lock does not work very well after about 6 months of use. I typically have to reach into the locking mechanism to get it to release properly. Other than that is has not cracked, rusted or bent since I’ve owned it. I live is the high desert so it does not see much rain or snow.
Good hitch. Easy to set up on my gooseneck ball. Connects and disconnects easily. It is a little hefty so I use my tractor to move it around when needed.

B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter - Dual Jaw - 25,000 lbs
Used the Companion hitch to convert gooseneck ball mount to 5th wheel hitch. Companion fits perfectly inside the well of my flatbed and is easy to remove to use the gooseneck ball and easy to re-install. The hitch is very secure and tows my RV quite smoothly. There is no back and forth movement and I couldn’t be happier with it. Easy to hook up and disconnect the trailer. Highly recommended. Etrailer staff was very helpful in helping me find the right equipment to meet my needs.
I am very impressed with the quality of this BW 5th wheel hitch. I chose it because it what is recommended for use on my new flatbed for my truck. The flatbed is designed with this hitch in mind. It fits perfectly in the gooseneck well and is easy to install/remove. Just tighten/loosen the tension bolt and slide the locking pin to switch from gooseneck ball to 5th wheel. Going with this hitch and a flatbed makes trailering so much easier. No more step ladders, standing on running boards or tire to reach the hitch handle. Just reach over, grab the handle to open/close the jaws and set the safety pin. Highly recommend it.

Curt X5 5th-Wheel Base Rail Adapter Plate for EZr Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
This adapter allowed me to quickly install a fifth wheel hitch in my single wheel shortbed truck which had a gooseneck hitch without any extra installation work, other than just dropping it in. Easily installed and has worked well with a slider hitch.
Took 2 minutes to install. Works great, I had it hooked up to my fifth wheel 2 hours after UPS delivered.

Demco 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches
Great option for my curt q20 took 20 minutes to install .I bought a new truck which came with the b&W gooseneck hitch i was surprised to find this plate . Thanks etrailer
This product is spot on, I installed it immediately and have used it twice. This product was an awesome option to purchase because of already having the B&W turnover ball system. This gave me the ability to install and the Curt Q24 slider to give the maneuverability needed when pulling a fifth wheel with a short box that the Anderson hitch did not provide. I have already used the slider option twice, it works flawlessly. Prior to the purchase of this Demco I purchased the Curt X5. The X5 did not work with my truck at all. The X5 did not even make contact with the bed of the truck for support. This Demco base to rails fits tightly to the bed of the truck. I have 2007 Dodge 3500. It is a short box mega cab.
