Will Current B&W Head Fit B&W RVK3000 Base
Question:
I currently have a bandw turnover ball brand new underbed hitch with a companion model 3000 serial number 12909 My head is getting fairly worn and wont stay level. Still works great and my older 2004 holiday rambler 5th wheel is perfectly level going down the road. The rv weighs about 16500 and I really dont want to change the base because of how smooth it pulls being so level Can a 18000 lb head fit that base. Truck is a 2012 f350 superduty dually. Are the newer 18000 lb heads the same height as my old head. What head can you reccomend with that base

Expert Reply:
The # BWRVC3200 you were looking at will not fit since it is designed for the Patriot. The Patriot and Companion are not interchangeable. However, you can add the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion # BWRVC3006. It has an even higher rating but you will be limited by the capacity of the base. It will be the same height as what you have now.

Can you tell me if the higher rating companions are the same overall height as my model 3000. Would like to go a heavier rating but would like to not go higher. Thks.
