Video Transcript for B and W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Replacement Head Assembly Review
Hello neighbors. It's Brad here trailer, And today we are taking a look at the BMW companion replacement head for your fifth wheel. BMW products I can attest are very well-made. They have great fit and finish, and overall they're extremely durable. But sometimes when using a fifth wheel and hooking up, there is a human error that can cause damage. So if you've maybe buggered this up, trying to hook up to it, or just over time things have broken, mechanisms have worn out and you wanna replace just the head, you're able to do that without having to buy an entire fifth wheel system.
So that's why we have our BMW replacement head here, as it's very easy to simply take your old one up, put a replacement head on, and be towing in a matter of minutes. Now, this head is gonna work on any 3000 or 3,500 series base and that's gonna be awesome if you have a puck system or a under bed system, this will work all the same. Now, because these are interchangeable between the companion or the BMW basis, and this is gonna be great because you can take this from base to base and swap them out whenever needed. Now, if you've had the whole continuum system and you're just replacing this head, this is gonna have the exact same features, the same hardware, and all the same parts. Now, this also has the same weight rating at 25,000 pounds.
But keep in mind, if you are swapping from base to base, this one in particular is rated at 20,000. So you're gonna wanna make sure that you're staying at the lowest number just to keep you safe. Just like your previous head, this is great for being able to simply pop off the head very easily. And having that two piece design is gonna make it nice and lightening easy to be able to take out your fifth wheel components whenever you need to. Sometimes preventative maintenance on our equipment can kinda go on the wayside as life gets busy.
And so as you can see here, this one is greased up through Perks greasing. So potentially maybe you didn't grease yours up, and it's worn itself out, this is gonna be a great replacement and maybe a good reminder to grease yours up next time. So whether you're replacing a damaged head or just adding a little extra flexibility to your fleet of vehicles, this replacement head is gonna be a great option for you BMW owners. And that was a look at the BMW replacing head for your companion fifth wheel..

Replacement head fits B&W Companion fifth-wheel trailer hitches. Two-piece jaw provides great jaw-to-king-pin contact. Fully articulating head eases hookup on unlevel ground.by: kevin01/25/2021
Installation was fairly easy. Followed the included directions an verified each step with the product video. Drilling a 4 inch hole in the bed of the truck was a different story. But hole lined up perfectly with the center piece an the bolt holes of the bed frame.
The only draw back was there is not enough room to tourqe all the bolts to spec. I moved my smaller 5th wheel last week about 40 miles an will be using it this weekend to move my 40 ft toy hauler.
Great customer service an follow up with this company.
Comments
I have had my B&W Companion hitch for over a year now in my truck. Best hitch I have had. Easy to change from 5th wheel to goose neck. No problems. It was easy to install with the assisting video from the e trailer website.

Bought as replacement for used companion slider base. Came with leveling spring. Well built, hitches and unhitches easily from trailer.
by: Robert09/18/2022
This hitch works great for us. We got a new Chevy truck with the puck system. Hitch locks in very easily. Also, we are older, and this hitch splits into two 75lb pieces which makes it much easier to get in and out as opposed to one 150lb unit.
Best part is it completely ended the bucking that we had with our old hitch. Ride is super smooth and very easy to hook-up and disconnect.
Worth every penny.
by: Timothy09/30/2022
This was a replacement. I was stuck at a campground and needed the head unit asap. When the new unit came in, the right side was bent and the would not go all the way down. It's working and locked in place but, I do worry about it

I have sent you an email about this. We would love the chance to put your mind at ease about this if we can.

Fit is perfect awesome customer super rare these days I could not be happier with my purchase and experience they were right there to answer all questions and concerns
by: Craig05/14/2022
After buying a new truck right before a trip that has been planned for months ( yeah that was my bad). I needed to replace my 5th wheel hitch from a rail system to a puck system. I purchased a new base from another company and was assured that the coupler would fit the new base since it was the same brand. Guess what didn’t fit. I came to etrailer.com and the website gave me the exact model number that would fit and offered 2 day shipping. I actually received the new coupler a day earlier than expected and it fit perfectly. I will be using etrailer.com from now on for all my trailering needs.

Heaviest duty 5th wheel hitch made and great service from etrailer
by: Larry04/08/2022
This Head assembly is very well built, I purchase this so when I get a fifth wheel trailer I will be able to tow with confidence. I purchased the base unit used. So I'm all set to tow whatever trailer I purchase!
by: Bioburner05/01/2017
Great looking heavy well made product and the unit was shipped the night I ordered and received Monday after the Thursday night order. Good phone service with call back service from etrailer when lines are busy so no long on phone hold waiting time waste.

Exactly what I needed. I bought a camper that came with the bottom half but the previous owner kept this part of the hitch.
by: Ronald W12/08/2021
This is the second B&W fifth wheel hitch I have owned. The first was mounted on rails and lighter duty than the Companion hitch. So, when I purchased a new truck I decided to go to the new hitch also. Very happy. It’s been numerous places in Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Great product!
by: John 02/03/2023

Excellent service and communication, fast shipping as well
by: ROB03/08/2017
LOVE THIS SYSTEM EASY TO ATTACH TO MY CAMPER. EASY TO REMOVE FROM THE BED OF THE TRUCK, LEAVING A FLAT CLEAR SURFACE WITH OUT THE CLUTTER OF RAILS TO SLIDE CARGO IN AND OUT . THE 4 WAY MOVEMENT OF THE FIFTH WHEEL PLATE ALLOWS FOR A VERY SMOOTH RIDE WHEN PULLING MY CAMPER WITH LITTLE TO NO SWAY GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND AROUND CORNERS . THE SWINGING LATCH SYSTEM IS GREAT. NO GUESSING FROM INSIDE THE TRUCK IF ITS CONNECTED .ONCE ITS HOOKED JUST DROP IN THE SAFETY PIN AND YOUR READY. ONLY DOWN FALL IS THE HITCH ITSELF IS VERY HEAVY TO MOVE. BUT WHEN THAT IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE CAMPER TO MY TRUCK I WOULD RATHER KNOW THAT THE WEIGHT MEANS ITS MADE OF THICK QUALITY STEELE AND COMPONENTS VS THIN LIGHT WEIGHT MATERIAL'S .OVER ALL A VERY GOOD PRODUCT WITH NO ISSUES DEFIANTLY A GREAT PRODUCT.

- Replacement Head Assembly for B & W Companion 5th Wheel HitchGood news! You can buy the head separate from the base of the B&W Companion. The head assembly part number is # BWRVC3006, the cost is listed below where I've attached the product to the answer page for your convenience. This head will simply slide onto the A-style arms and secure with the included pins and clips. I've included a demonstration video for of this head for you to check out.
view full answer... - B&W 5th Wheel Hitch Replacement Head For Model 3000 BaseI reached out to my contact at B&W and confirmed that with the model 3000 base, the replacement head compatible with it is the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 25,000 lbs # BWRVC3006.
view full answer... - Replacement Head For B and W Companion HitchIf you need just the head of a B and W Companion hitch you would want the part # BWRVC3006.
view full answer... - How To Install Leveling Kit For Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5Th Wheel HitchThe spring and clip you mentioned that is included with the Replacement Head, part # BWRVC3006 is the leveling kit. The spring is designed to keep tension on the head and keep it from flopping.

- Replacement Head For B&W Companion Fifth Wheel HitchWe do have the replacement head for B&W Companion fifth wheel hitches. You can order part # BWRVC3006. This head has 1-inch thick 2-piece jaws for 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact.
view full answer... - Will B&W 25K Companion Hitch Head Fit in Place of 20K Head on a 2015 Ford F-350 DuallyYes, the B&W 25K Companion hitch head # BWRVC3006 will fit in place of the 20K head you have now but it is still limited to 20,000 pounds. Your 2015 Ford F-350 dually probably has the capacity but just make sure by checking the owners manual and whichever is lower, the hitch or the truck, is the capacity you will need to go by.
view full answer... - Do Jaws of B and W Companion Hitch Head Require AdjustmentThe jaws of the B and W Replacement Head part # BWRVC3006 are not adjustable and they do not require tightening. It's a little annoying but most hitches have a little bit of movement which makes that clicking sound you mentioned.
view full answer... - Replacement Head Assembly For B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches WeightThe Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVC3006 weighs 80-lbs, and will fit all B&W Companion Hitches.
view full answer... - Replacement Head Assembly Availability for B and W Companion and Patriot Fifth Wheel HitchesFunctionally they are the same as they have the same jaw design, but they do attach differently so they are not interchangeable. The Patriot head replacement is the part # BWRVC3200 and the Companion head replacement is # BWRVC3006.
view full answer... - Are B&W Companion and Patriot Hitch Heads The SameThe Patriot fifth wheel heads and the Companion hitch heads are different enough that they are not interchangeable. If you need a Companion head you'd want the part # BWRVC3006 or if you want a Patriot hitch head you'd want the # BWRVC3200.
view full answer... - Are the B&W Patriot and Companion Hitch Heads InterchangeableI spoke with my contact over at B&W and found that the Patriot head # BWRVC3200 and the Companion head, # BWRVC3006, are NOT interchangeable. They will not fit each other's bases/legs.
view full answer... - Which Replacement Head For B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch For B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck HitchI have another option for you, but the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - 18,000 lbs # BWRVC3200 you were looking at is for the Patriot series hitches and will not fit your B&W Companion base for the B&W Turnoverball. Instead you will need the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 25,000 lbs # BWRVC3006 which will work perfectly with your current base. I included a video of the # BWRVC3006 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Why Would Replacement B and W Companion Head Seem Too Wide at Pivot Arms For InstallI spoke with my contact at Blue Ox and he informed me that based on what you described it is possible that you received the coupler head for the Patriot and not the Companion like you need. He asked me to have you double check that you see the part number RVC3006 on the box that the head came in. Our part number for this is # BWRVC3006. If the box has the part number RVC3200 you have the Patriot head. Our part number for this is the part # BWRVC3200. If not email us back with a picture...
view full answer... - Are B and W Companion and Patriot Heads InterchangeableFunctionally they are the same as they have the same jaw design, but they do attach differently so they are not interchangeable. The Patriot head replacement is the part # BWRVC3200 and the Companion head replacement is # BWRVC3006.

The Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVC3200 will not work unfortunately.
view full answer... - Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th WheelThe Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVC3006 that you looked at will work on any of the companion sliding bases. The companion implies the type that connect to the B&W bases that connect to the goose neck hitch like part # BWRVK3500. If you do not have a Companion base then the Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVC3200 like the one you have should work. These are the only two options available so...
view full answer... - Will B&W Companion Hitch Head Fit With B&W Patriot BaseThe Replacement Head Assembly # BWRVC3006 is compatible with the B&W Companion hitches but not the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Hitches like what you have with part # BWRVK3200. Since you have the Patriot you will need the part # BWRVC3200 instead. The B&W Companion and Patriot 5th wheel hitches look similar and have the same basic features, but the way in which the head attaches to the base is different enough that you need a specific head depending on what hitch you have.
view full answer... - Are the B&W Patriot and Companion Heads InterchangeableThe heads on the B&W Patriot and Companion are slightly different. Unfortunately, heads are not interchangeable between the two hitches. The replacement head for the Patriot is # BWRVC3200 and the replacement head for the Companion is # BWRVC3006. If you want to go with the full kit for your flatbed, you would need # BWRVK3050.
