The recommendation for the 10" diameter lube plate on a B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer has come from the manufacturer of the fifth wheel hitch, B&W. The Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part #RP83002 will work just fine…

Congrats on all your new toys! I do not think a Curt 5th wheel hitch, like item #C16120, is the best for your set up. You would need to purchase an adapter rail item #C88KR to use this hitch with your puck system. This adds weight, cost, and…

I spoke with my contact at B&W regarding your Companion Slider 5th Wheel Hitch #BWRVK3400. He did say that it sounds like the rollers are just a bit too tight on your hitch. He recommends backing off on the rollers just about 1/4 of a turn and…
