Question:

I am going from a regular bed to a flatbed truck. Will the companion fifth wheel hitch fit on the Rvb3055 for a flat bed? Also how much closer to the bed does the rvb3055 mount position the fifth wheel versus the companion?

Expert Reply:

If you already have a Companion hitch head then all you would need is the part # BWRVB3055 to use your current head on your flat bed truck. If you don't have a Companion already you would instead need the part # BWRVK3050 as it comes with the head and the lower piece you mentioned.

The head of this hitch will sit 10-1/2 inches above the deck of your flat bed truck. The regular Companion sits 16-1/4" - 18-1/4" inches above the bed of the truck.
