Question:
2020 Chevy Silverado 2500hd with Standard bed and no OEM Fifth wheel set up. Can i use BWRVK3500 with the BWGNRK1020-5W when i have a Turning Point fifth wheel pin box on my 2021 Rockwood 2891bh Trying to find the best under the rail set up and seeing if i really need a slider or not.

Expert Reply:
Since you have a Turning Point pin box you can't use the Companion hitch # BWRK3500 since it attaches through the center of the hitch to the gooseneck rail kit. The twisting torque of the Turning Point will damage the hitch as that style of pin box requires the hitch to attach in the four corners of the hitch like standard hitches.
So for an underbed solution your best and only option is the Underbed Rail Kit from Demco part # DR37FR which is custom fit for your truck and the fixed hitch part # DM8550032 which has a 21k capacity and has an excellent jaw design. This will give you an underbed setup like you are wanting that is compatible with the Turning Point. You also will have turning clearance as well.
