Expert Reply:
While in theory you can hook up your 5th wheel with a Companion slider like the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3775 in the rear position because it does lock out in the rear position, it would not be a good idea.
That is not how the Companion Sliders were designed or tested to be used and would most likely cause unwanted movement while trying to hook up or the slider may try to move forward with the force of the 5th wheel hooking up.
