What are Recess Dimensions that B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Hitch Adapter Fits
Updated 06/01/2026 | Published 05/25/2026
Question:
Working with a flatbed truck, with a 14x14 recessed well. Roughly 5” deep from the deck to the bottom of the well. Trying to understand what adjustability this product has to accommodate the depth of the well. I see notes about 18x18 and 4” but nothing that suggests a range. Customer photos suggest this is expecting the BandW socket to be flush with the deck not in a well? Thank you

Hey Kenneth, the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3050 that you referenced requires a minimum recessed box dimension of 18 inch by 18 inch and has a max recessed box depth of 4 inches. What are the dimensions of your recessed area?

In my case it's a Norstar bed, with a 14"x14"x6" deep well for the goose ball. Currently configured with a fixed ball. Thought process is to replace the ball with a B&W socket; but not sure that actually addresses the problem of putting a removable 5th wheel hitch on this truck. The base of the companion would need to sit on the deck, and reach down 6" to the top of the socket. Which is the basis of the question since all the photos suggest that the socket is typically flush to the deck.
