Hello James, thanks for reaching out. The capture plate would not be needed when using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch # BWRVK3600. So you could take it off and leave it off.

Hey James, did you have a chance to remove the capture plate for your new B&W hitch setup? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could help others with similar setups.
