Helpful Expert Reply:
Fifth wheel rail kits like the Reese kit part # RP50054-58 do not fit with B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitches installed at the same time. They would interfere with each other. Your best option would be to use the B and W Companion Slider hitch # BWRVK3400 which is a slider hitch that fits directly to the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch you have without needing any type of rail.
If you already have a slider hitch though and do need a set of rails like what the Reese kit offers you could instead use the X5 adapter part # 16310 which fits the Turnoverball gooseneck you have and then gives you the same style of rails.
