B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch

B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch

Not only does this kit provide you with a sturdy, custom base for installing your Companion fifth-wheel trailer hitch in the bed of your truck, but it also doubles as one of the most recognizable gooseneck hitches on the market. This fifth wheel installation kit actually is the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch from B&W.


Gooseneck Specs:

  • Gross towing weight: 30,000 lbs
  • Vertical load limit: 7,500 lbs
  • Ball size: 2-5/16"

B&W Companion Installed in Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch

With the B&W Turnoverball underbed gooseneck trailer hitch you get the best of both worlds. When you go to tow a gooseneck trailer, the Turnoverball creates a sturdy, dependable connection with your trailer. And when you're done towing, you can stow the ball upside down in the hitch to get full bed access and a clean appearance. When you're ready to tow your fifth wheel trailer, just install the Companion in the ball hole in place of the gooseneck ball and lock the post in place using the built-in handle. You can remove the fifth wheel when you're done towing, leaving your truck bed open once again.


Simple, Custom Installation

This kit is custom designed for your vehicle. The mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.


Once you have the brackets and center section installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the mounting post of the Companion (or the base of the gooseneck hitch ball).

The B&W under bed hitch along with the Fifth wheel companion hitch took the better part of the morning to assembly & install but was a great fit and great quality. Thank you etrailer for your help with my order and your fast shipping.
Thanks again

I pull a 19,000 Fuzion 429 toy hauler &amp it works great



by:

Definitely like this setup. Granted for a 65 year old it was little tough getting to putting in all the bolts. Having a car lift would have helped, but did not have one in my shop . Installed totally by myself, lost a washed down by fuel take and they were able to send another one out to me. Great with the Companion Fifth wheel hitch. Have been pulling my 43ft and 18,000lbs fifth wheel for a year now. No problems encountered with this set up. Would go with this set-up time and time again!! Highly recommend.

The hitch came in like promised installed, took me about four hours. Instructions were really great. These guys at etrailer.com really helps. You decide which one to get for your vehicle. Prices were really good. Give these guys a try.

I couldn’t be more happy with this hitch, it works perfect each and every time. The installation was not bad either for my 2013 Chevrolet 2500. I would definitely recommend this hitch to anyone who’s looking. I recently installed a different brand hitch in a friend of mines 2017 f350, as I’m working on this I’m thinking to myself I’m so glad I didn’t buy this kind. Overall b&w in my opinion is the best choice on the market today.

Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Excellent product installed my self in a chevy 2500 hd. Instruction were easy to follow and precise. Really like the fact that when I take my rail out you gain the whole bed of your truck back. No pins sticking up just a flat bed won't know you were able to put a 5 th whelk hick and rain in there. Only complaint is because the hitch that attached to this frame is rated at 2k its is heavy to lift when removing. But if you have a chain host and a couple straps and can back under, the problem is solved and can be done by one man.

Have always depended on B&W hitches. Is a bit technical on self install, but if you have the tools and time, it can be done.



by:

My order came quicker than expected and installation videos from etrailer made the install a breeze. I would highly recommend B&W from etrailer.

  • B&W Gooseneck and Companion Hitch Fitment for a 2015 GMC Sierra 2500
    Yes, the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400, which uses the Base # BWRVB3405 you referenced, will fit the Custom Underbed Installation Kit # BWGNRK1012-5W for your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500. This is one of my favorite towing setups because you gain the ability to tow either a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer, the installation looks really clean, and it's all made here in the USA! The only other thing I recommend checking out if you don't already have it is a 7-Way wiring kit for your truck bed. Installing...

  • 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 6.5 Bed Puck System Recommendations
    I do have a few options for you to add an underbed kit on your 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 6-1/2' bed and the real differential is the style you are looking for. For a true 4-point puck system you need the Elite Series Under-Bed Gooseneck Hitch # RP30158-68. This is closer to the OEM puck system style for your truck and you will need the Rail Adapter # RP30156 to connect your 16K Husky slider to this system. I personally like this system best because it gives you a wider variety of options. We...

    So long as the B&W gooseneck you have on your 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 is the Turnoverball Gooseneck # BWGNRK1012-5W, then yes, you absolutely have the correct B&W Companion sliding 5th wheel hitch for your Chevy, which is the following: - B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch with Slider # BWRVK3400-5W This will mount directly in the square gooseneck hole of the Turnoverball gooseneck, and is a fantastic choice for a hitch.

  • Location of B&W 5th Wheel Hitch in Relation to Rear Axle 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Short Bed
    When the B and W installation kit # BWGNRK1012-5W is installed for the Companion hitch, the center of the ball hole will be 44-3/4 inches forward of the rear edge of the bed on your 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed. This will tell you where the center of the hitch will be once installed. Companion hitch # BWRVK3400-5W and # BWRVK3400 are sliders. They have 12 inches of travel allowing you to making tighter turns unlike the fixed hitch version that allows you to move the head further...

    If you have the sliding B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W mounted to the B&W Turnoverball # BWRVK3400-5W on your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD there is a formula you will need to use to determine if you will have the necessary clearance to make a 90 degree turn so your trailer won't hit the cab. (A + B) - C = Clearance A = Distance from center of 5th-wheel hitch jaw to truck cab in inches B = Offset used (slider clearance, which in this case is 12" front to back) C = Width of trailer in inches...

  • Is Weight Capacity of 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Higher Than Bumper Towing for a 2015 Sierra 2500
    According to my research the weight ratings your found for your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax Crew Cab 4WD are correct but it is always a good idea to confirm this with your copy of the owner's manual. Since 5th wheel or gooseneck towing places the tongue weight (or pin weight) of the trailer almost directly on top of the rear axle it is extremely common to see higher weight ratings for 5th wheel/gooseneck towing than bumper pull towing.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Hitches in a 2015 GMC 2500 with 6-1/2 Foot Bed
    The best way to have both a gooseneck and fifth wheel hitch in your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 is a B&W Companion. The Companion installs using an underbed gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1012-5W that has a turnoverball so you'll have a clear truck bed. In addition the Companion # BWRVK3400-5W is a fifth wheel trailer hitch that fits into the gooseneck so you can tow a fifth wheel trailer. This is a sliding hitch to help with turning clearance since you have a short bed truck. I've linked a video...

  • Best 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Towing with a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500 that has an 8 Foot Bed
    With an 8 foot bed you're not likely to have any issues with turning clearance. I recommend using the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500-5W. It's one of the favorites because of how solid it is. It has dual jaws and pivoting head to improve your trailer's ride. It also installs into an underbed kit, # BWGNRK1012-5W, that's also a gooseneck hitch if you ever need it. For a more economical option the Curt # C16245 is the most popular for your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500. It also has a dual jaw but...
