Expert Reply:
I believe by BM gooseneck hitch you are referring to the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1012 on your 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 Dually. If this is the case then the B&W Companion is the best option for a 5th wheel-to-gooseneck adapter because it fits directly into the squared receiver of your gooseneck hitch and it features a cam-action latching handle which helps to prevent binding even if you're on uneven ground.
If you have a long bed you need part # BWRVK3500 but if you have a short bed then part # BWRVK3400 is the better option as it has a sliding feature that gives you enough cab-to-trailer turning clearance when you're making sharp turns.
Attached are some review videos for you to check out as well as a photo showing what the Companion looks like installed.
