Can Arms of B and W Replacement Base for Companion Flatbed Fifth Wheel be Turned Around

Published 04/14/2026

Question:

Can the arm be turned around for more cab clearance. Ive got a Knapheide 7foot flatbed not recessed with a BandW weld in turn over system. My truck is a 2011 Ram 3500 SRW 4WD Short Box Crew Cab. Knapheide Flatbed model PGTB-78R-R. Flatbed height on level ground is 42 1/2. with a 36foot cab to axle distance. Towing a Jayco Pinnacle w/b.

Hey Tom, unlike the other versions of the B and W Companion the arms of the # BWRVB3055 that you referenced are not reversible to gain additional turning clearance as they do not have any offset built into them.
