Hey Ronnie,
The crossbeam of the slider base on the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3270 unfortunately sits too low and fights for the same space as the handles/side mounting plates of the Curt Rail Adapter # C88KR (16027) so they would not be compatible together. The Patriot slider unfortunately isn't compatible with any puck-to-rail adapter on the market currently.
You would need to switch to the Companion OEM # BWRVK3775 which would have the correct mounting points to mate with the puck system instead of having to use an adapter. There unfortunately isn't a way to minimize the cost here as a new hitch is the only way to make this work with your puck system. You could most likely sell you Patriot to recoup some of the money at least.
