Switching From Base Rails To A B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch In A 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500
Question:
Hello, i have the BandW companion slider in my Chevy 2500 Hd. I have the bed mount rails as i had no factory prep to the truck. I would like to install the under bed Goose ball mount to free up space in my bed. I plan to buy the under bed prep kit from you. For the actual 5th wheel hitch, will i have to buy a whole new 5th wheel hitch set up? Or do you sell a conversion kit to use my current BandW slider?

Expert Reply:
If you have base rails then you would have the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3200 or Patriot Slider # BWRVK3270, which unfortunately would not be compatible with the underbed Tunroverball hitch # BWGNRK1016-5W. You would need to replace the hitch with the Companion # BWRVK3400-5W to be able to use the Turnoverball hitch and free up space in your bed.
