Expert Reply:
The B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3500 is just simply a newer version of the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part RVK3000. The head between each unit is the same but the Replacement Base for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3500 is made of thicker steel than the old base which allows it to have a 20,000 lb towing capacity compared to the 18,000 lb towing capacity of the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part RVK3000. If you have the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part RVK3000 and would like to upgrade then all you would need is the Replacement Base for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVB3500 as the head's are the same.
