Updated 09/01/2026 | Published 08/31/2026 >
Question:
I have a short bed truck with a B and W turnoverball gooseneck hitch that I have been using with my companion hitch but I want to switch to a gooseneck to fifth wheel adapter and this seems like what I need, is this true? My pin box is the 1621

Hey Charles, yes the B and W 5th Wheel Setup w/ GN Pin Box and Offset Ball # BW44MV is exactly what you are looking for. It will give you an offset ball for your B and W hitch which will help with short bed turning clearance and also will give you a cushioned fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter like you are looking for as well. This will give you a much quieter and smoother ride quality without every having to mess with a heavy fifth wheel hitch in the bed of your truck.
