Question:

I would like to know if you can sell just the plastic foot pads for the B and M fifth wheel hitches?

Hello Jim, thanks for reaching out. So the replacement rubber pads are not available from B&W as a purchasable replacement part. We have had people ask us about these before and if you reach out directly to B&W they should be able to help you get some.

Hey Jim, did you have any luck getting the plastic foot pads directly from B&W? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it might help others with the same question.

@JesseM No I was not able to get them. My hitch is not a B&W hitch, but they would have worked for my current hitch to keep it from turning in the bed of my truck. I currently have the Demco Recon 5th wheel hitch. It sits on top of the ball and is torqued down. Each time I pull my 5th wheel camper the hitch rotates a bit in the bed each time. I have contacted Demco about it and they told me to increase the torque to 40 foot pounds. I have gone up to 60Foot pounds and afraid to go further. The frame still rotates in the bed. This happened in my 2500Hd as well so it is not my truck. What really sucks is that B&W does not make a hitch that will work in my truck's Factory Goose Neck setup. I have a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The gooseneck ball base is round where all of B&W hitches have the square inserts. Why spend a ton of money replacing something the factory installed? I would love to have a B&W hitch because they seem to be the best out there, But they just do not make anything for my truck. (It seems weird because there are a lot of Chevys out therewith the same setup as mine!) Oh Well, thanks for checking up on me!

@JimW Oh ok gotcha! Yes I suppose really any rubber pad would help with the hitch rotating like that. You are correct B&W doesn't make anything for the factory gooseneck. You would need to have either the factory 5th wheel puck system with the four pucks, or the B&W Turnoverball gooseneck. Anyway, thanks for sharing all that! Come back anytime you need anything!
