Question:

Wondering if you could help us out! Any insight would be great. We have an 04 Chevy 2500hd with a Buyers Products co. Gooseneck already in the bed of the truck from when we bought it. Is this BandW Companion gooseneck to fifth wheel adapter compatible? See pictures please. Thank you!

Thanks for the picture Candice! I am sorry but the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # BWRVK3500 only works with B&W Turnoverball systems like item # BWGNRK1067. B&W's gooseneck system use a square receiver which isn't compatible with other manufacturers.

Instead, you'll want to use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # DM8550045. This 5th wheel hitch will attach directly to your Buyers Products gooseneck ball. You'll just need to make sure the gooseneck ball isn't taller than 5".

To make towing with a 5th wheel easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness item # C56000. This harness puts a 7-way connector in the bed of your truck and allows you to keep the one on your bumper. This makes hooking up to your 5th wheel trailer easier and more convenient.
