Most Popular Adapts Flatbed Truck for 2014 Dodge Ram Pickup

I decided to buy the Champion fifth wheel hitch to pull a fifth wheel camper, my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 already had a B&W goose neck hitch in it. The champion hitch allowed me to also have a fifth wheel hitch with out drilling and mounting more weight to the truck. The instructions for assembly were clear and easy to follow making the assembly of the hitch easy. The hitch fit snug and there is no play in it. The 26' fifth wheel camper pulled nicely, no surging or swaying.

Awesome product. Best of both fifth and goose put together about time. No annoying rails on my trucks bed, just remove fifth wheel flip gosse over and hides in hole within minutes. 2016 350 Ram. 38' 5R no problem nice setup.

Put this setup on a 2021 pj flatbed with a recessed gooseneck (believe it's a b&m 30k kit) in it from the factory. The top of the ball is about 1/8"-3/16" lower than the deck. Took a few tries to make everything fit along with some modifications to the set screws. I had to trim off about 1/4" on the bottom set screw to clear my opening. Also I can't set the 5th wheel height to the lowest setting because the upright casting sticks out the bottom of the frame. One could trim that off as well but then you lose the hole for the highest setting. Gonna run in the middle setting and if I have to, I'll trim off the excess to make it sit lower. Bed is on a 2014 Ram 4500. Top of bed to ground with no load is 41.5" at the rear axle. Overall looks like it will work for what I'm doing.

The Demco Recon is easy to set up on my B&W turn-over ball gooseneck hitch. I went with this combination since the Demco Recon is not as heavy as the B&W Companion so I can remove the 5th wheel setup by myself. The Demco is a quality constructed product that I am looking forward to may years of service with. The only recommendation I would have is to have the torque specs for the ball capture pin and the plate yoke bolts on the unit. I just wrote the specs on the unit in silver Sharpie so I would not need to look it up every time. Installed in a 2014 Ram Mega Cab diesel 4x4 which leaves enough room for an RDS 80 gallon aux fuel tank at the front of the bed.
