You linked to the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 that mounts using compatible industry-standard, above-bed rails. For your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, I suggest the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, # RP56015-53, as this is confirmed for the 5-3/4 Foot Bed. However, the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch, # BWRVK3255 is not a slide type hitch so you will need to have a rotating turret type pin box on your 5th wheel and verify that there is enough clearance for turning.
You will also need the 5th Airborne Custom Wedge for B&W Fifth Wheels, # SWW-06.
The Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter, # AM3200 is not compatible with 5th wheel RV's that have a rotating turret or truck beds less than 6'.
