Question:
I have a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD pickup Not Flatbed with a B and W gooseneck hitch installed. Would this work on that, so I can haul a 5th Wheel RV? Thank you.

Hey Robert, so the B and W Companion hitch part # BWRVK3050 would fit the B and W Turnoverball gooseneck you have in your truck bed but it's probably going to be too short in height since it's designed to fit flat bed applications that sit up higher. It is only 10-1/2 inches tall. So unless your truck has a lift kit installed this probably won't be your best solution.
Instead you'd want the part # BWRVK3500 which is the standard height hitch. This hitch has a height range of 16-1/4 inch to 18-1/4 inch which is more of a standard height range.

Hey Robert, how did things work out with the B&W Companion hitch for your Silverado? Did the standard-height model give you the clearance you needed for your 5th wheel? Your update could make it easier for others with the same setup.
