Question:

I have a 2014 dodge 2500 with a 6foot 4inch bed, I have a B and M turn over ball goose neck hitch. What is the difference between a RVK 3400 and an RVK 3400 5W? Does any one else make a slider hitch that will work in my goose neck bed fitting. I also have a Pro Series 15K fifth wheel hitch but do not have a rail kit and that hitch will not slide.

There is no difference at all between the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3400 and the # BWRVK3400-5W. We use the -5W at the end of the part number to allow the hitch to show up in two different fitguides. One for the gooseneck fitguide and then one for the fifth wheel fitguide.

The Companion setups are considered by many to be the nicest fifth wheel hitch around. The Companion slider is going to be a much better option than using an adapter to use the stationary Pro Series hitch.
