Had to purchase this because of a mistake made by etrailer on my original purchase. It was the only one in stock that fit my needs but was $[XX] more than my original purchase. I'm kind of glad that happened as this one seems so much better than what I was going to purchase, a brand with which I had experience. Solidly built, quiet with minimal chucking and the slider mechanism is easy to use.

I can hardly believe the difference in ride smoothness after switching from an Anderson Ranch Hitch adapter. We are both ecstatic what a difference this unit has made. By the way, I received this order in two days! Just in time for our trip. Thanks to everyone and especially Justin for top shelf customer service.

Installation was fairly easy. Followed the included directions an verified each step with the product video. Drilling a 4 inch hole in the bed of the truck was a different story. But hole lined up perfectly with the center piece an the bolt holes of the bed frame.
The only draw back was there is not enough room to tourqe all the bolts to spec. I moved my smaller 5th wheel last week about 40 miles an will be using it this weekend to move my 40 ft toy hauler.
Great customer service an follow up with this company.

I have had my B&W Companion hitch for over a year now in my truck. Best hitch I have had. Easy to change from 5th wheel to goose neck. No problems. It was easy to install with the assisting video from the e trailer website.

Thank you all for your timely support. This is my 2nd B&W 5TH wheel hitch. Loved the patriot so I'm quite certain I'm going to feel even more secure with the Companion.

One of the most stout 5th wheel heads and bases. Very simple and extremely durable. The fact that this head breaks away from the base makes it possible to remove the head and base with only one person and without a lift or getting a hernia.

Still working great, essentially no wear on the powder coating after 3000 miles and multiple unhitching. Keep it lubed well with a clean bushing. I will say after talking with other trailer owners, I might have gone with a different brand entirely due to the difficulty to get the slider engaged disengaged. I have to jump over the side of the truck to pull the lever. There are times when the main base of the B&W doesnt want to lock or latch completely and it will slip back into the original position cause the need to get back into the bed to release again. Do significant research before purchasing. I am 95 happy with the B&W, it is of great quality but might not be the best for our F350 short bed with 29 RV trailer.

We love those hitch. It's very sturdy and built well. I haven't had the need to use the slider mechanism yet during our travels but I have slid the slider into the backwards position and was able to turn my truck almost at a 90° angle while hitched to our 5th wheel. My wife very carefully guided me as I turned very slowly to the right and then to the left. The front cap of my 5th wheel had about a 3 inch clearance from the back of my truck cab. I feel very confident that I can navigate through a tight turn with the slider engaged.

LOVE THIS SYSTEM EASY TO ATTACH TO MY CAMPER. EASY TO REMOVE FROM THE BED OF THE TRUCK, LEAVING A FLAT CLEAR SURFACE WITH OUT THE CLUTTER OF RAILS TO SLIDE CARGO IN AND OUT . THE 4 WAY MOVEMENT OF THE FIFTH WHEEL PLATE ALLOWS FOR A VERY SMOOTH RIDE WHEN PULLING MY CAMPER WITH LITTLE TO NO SWAY GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND AROUND CORNERS . THE SWINGING LATCH SYSTEM IS GREAT. NO GUESSING FROM INSIDE THE TRUCK IF ITS CONNECTED .ONCE ITS HOOKED JUST DROP IN THE SAFETY PIN AND YOUR READY. ONLY DOWN FALL IS THE HITCH ITSELF IS VERY HEAVY TO MOVE. BUT WHEN THAT IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE CAMPER TO MY TRUCK I WOULD RATHER KNOW THAT THE WEIGHT MEANS ITS MADE OF THICK QUALITY STEELE AND COMPONENTS VS THIN LIGHT WEIGHT MATERIAL'S .OVER ALL A VERY GOOD PRODUCT WITH NO ISSUES DEFIANTLY A GREAT PRODUCT.

Been happy with it so far. It’s heavy, but only because it’s well built. I have noticed it wears more on the passenger side. I started using a lube plate and it seems to remedy the wear and completely silenced any clunking.

- Replacement Head For B&W 25k Hitch for 2022 Ford F450 Hi Rick, Yes, you can replace just the top half of your B&W Companion 25K hitch with part # BWRVC3006, so you don’t have to replace the entire setup. The replacement head assembly is designed to work with your existing base. From what you described with the bent head and torn weld, you’re absolutely doing the right thing by replacing it instead of trying to repair it. That top portion carries all the load from the king pin, so once it’s compromised, it’s not something you want to risk. The...
view full answer... - How To Install Leveling Kit For Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5Th Wheel HitchThe spring and clip you mentioned that is included with the Replacement Head, part # BWRVC3006 is the leveling kit. The spring is designed to keep tension on the head and keep it from flopping. I have attached a page from the Companion installation instructions that describes how to install and adjust the kit you can check out.

- Will Current B&W Head Fit B&W RVK3000 BaseThe # BWRVC3200 you were looking at will not fit since it is designed for the Patriot. The Patriot and Companion are not interchangeable. However, you can add the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion # BWRVC3006. It has an even higher rating but you will be limited by the capacity of the base. It will be the same height as what you have now.

view full answer... - Is It Possible To Buy The New B&W Base And Keep Old 5th Wheel Head When Switching From GMC To RAM ?Hey Megan, yes you sure can! I'm glad you asked as you'll be able to save some time and money. I see you were looking at the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel For Ram # BWRVK3600. This fits your 2026 RAM 3500 and consists of the Base # BWRVB3600 and Head # BWRVC3006. The 2021 GMC fit for the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel For Chevy/GMC is part # BWRVK3715 which consists of the Base # BWRVB3715 and the same exact Head # BWRVC3006 as the Ram kit. So if you have that setup on your GMC and want...
view full answer... - What Else is Needed with B and W Companion Base Kit part # BWRVB3300 to Complete HitchIf you have the B and W Companion Base Kit part # BWRVB3300 all you need is the replacement head # BWRVC3006 and you'd have a complete fifth wheel hitch designed to fit the factory Ford fifth wheel rail kits for the Reese Elite underbed rail kits.
view full answer... - Can I use The B&W Companion Head With the 25K Ford Puck System BaseAydin, I believe you’re asking if the head from the B&W Companion part # BWRVC3006 will fit onto the Ford puck system base part # BWRVB3305, and as long as both pieces are from the B&W Companion 25K lineup, they are interchangeable. That means you can reuse your existing GM Companion head and pair it with the Ford OEM base without running into fitment issues, which is a nice way to save some money and still keep that solid, tight connection B&W is known for. Are you getting a new truck?
view full answer... - Replacement B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Head NeededWe do sell the hitch head for the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3500. For just the hitch head assembly you will need part # BWRVC3006 on our site.

view full answer... - Is a Replacement Shock Offered for the B&W Companion RVB3300I do have an option for you but we do not offer a replacement shock absorber for the B&W Companion OEM 5th-Wheel Hitch part # BWRVK3300. The option we do have however is a new head, the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVC3006 which will be a direct bolt-on swap. I know this may not be what you are looking for but it is the only option we can offer you.

- Are B&W Companion and Patriot Hitch Heads The SameThe Patriot fifth wheel heads and the Companion hitch heads are different enough that they are not interchangeable. If you need a Companion head you'd want the part # BWRVC3006 or if you want a Patriot hitch head you'd want the # BWRVC3200.
view full answer... - Will The B&W Companion Fit Ford F350 Factory Pucks?Hi James! The B&W Companion can definitely fit a Ford F350, but not to the factory gooseneck ball hole. The reason for that is the post on a Companion hitch is square whereas the posts on factory gooseneck balls are round. A round hole would allow the Companion hitch to twist, and that would be very bad. All the bases will fit into the 4 pucks in your bed though. You didn't mention the year, though Ford has never changed the pucks so this doesn't really matter, or bed size so I have a...
view full answer... - Can a B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch from a Chevy Silverado Fit a 2018 Ram 3500 Long BedThe part number you provided, which in our system is # BWRVB3500, is just the replacement base for the standard Companion hitch which is # BWRVK3500. If they are selling just the base then you will also need the head which is # BWRVC3006. Your 2018 Ram 3500 would also need to have a B&W gooseneck hitch installed to use the Companion. For your truck it is # BWGNRK1314. If you have the factory installed gooseneck hitch then the Companion hitch and base listed above will not fit. Instead...

view full answer... - Trouble Removing the B&W Companion Hitch HeadThe process you described to remove the head from your B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3500 is correct. The reason you are have having trouble is because of the bushings on the pivot arms. They need to be properly greased each time you remove the head. You can use the LubriMatic White Lithium Grease part # L11354 for this. This should make removing the head much easier though there may still be some rocking involved. The Replacement Head Assembly...
view full answer... - Can I Mount My B&W Companion Head on a Different B&W Base Than What It Came WithHey Brad. Great question and the answer is yes, you can do that. B&W made it really easy and you can mount the head, part # BWRVC3006, from the # BWRVK3500 you already have and mount it to any of their available Companion bases. Including the # BWRVB3600 that you're looking at. Did you recently upgrade to a new truck?
view full answer... - Correct Replacement Head for a 20K B&W Companion 5th Wheel HitchThere isn't a 20K option because the 20K hitch also uses the same head as the 25K version. So the correct replacement head for your B&W Companion is the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVC3006.
view full answer... - Replacement Locking Handles For A B&W Companion OEM Base Hey Jerry, If you're referring to the locking handles (pictured below) that mount the B&W Companion OEM Slider Base # BWRVK3370 into your F-250's puck system you'll need to reach out to B&W and have the serial number for your hitch ready since they want document these replacements. The serial number is on the large orange sticker on the cab side of the hitch in the middle at the bottom. They don't offer these as to distributors so going through them is the only way to get more of these.

The Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC item # BWRVB3710 only works with other B&W Companion hitch heads like item # BWRVC3006. I am not sure what 5th hitch you're referring to but there were no 18,000 lbs capacity B&W Companions so the answer to your question is no. If you are referring to the B&W Patriot item # BWRVK3255 the only way to convert this hitch to fit the puck system in a 2024 Sierra 3500 is to use the Adapter Rails for Curt...
view full answer... - Can I Upgrade My B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch From 20K to 25K?Hello Tim, thanks for reaching out. It is possible to upgrade the capacity of your B&W Companion hitch. You would just need to get a new base for your hitch. The head unit part # BWRVC3006 is the same on both the 20K and 25K versions of the Companion hitch, but the bases are different. What truck is this going in? Reply below and let me know and I can recommend the correct base. I will also need to know your bed size.
view full answer... - Weight Of The B&W Companion OEM # BWRVK3715 Base And Head Hi Grant, The B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3715 would be a fit for a 2025 GMC Sierra 3500's puck system. The base # BWRVB3715 weighs 87lbs and the head # BWRVC3006 weighs 70lbs. This is designed for an 8' bed so if you have a short bed you'll want to switch to the slider base version # BWRVK3775 for more turning clearance so that the trailer won't come into contact with the cab of the truck. The slider base # BWRVB3775 weighs quite a bit more at 181lbs so you would definitely...
