companion

Thanks

This hitch attached to the B&W Gooseneck hitch. No other holes are needed.

Reguarding the converters that attach to the fifth wheel trailer to make it a gooseneck. I've heard some stories of broken welds and bent components when that's done. I'd avoid it. If you need both (I did) get the B&W with the companion.

 

B&W all the way

it goes away when you don't need it

i enjoy having mine after having a rail system.waytogo waytogo waytogo waytogo

 

companion ?

Just out of curiosity, bout how much does one of those fancy companions go for and of course the turn over ball too. Do they make a 30K or just a 18K one?

 

i think around $400, i dont know ill have to check my prices

 

So, two and a half years later after asking what GN hitcth to go with, I finally bought one.rotfl

I bought a B&W turnoverball. Sure was a pain in the butt to install, especially with my 5" exhaust.

 

cool!! lets see some pics

 

This one is expensive but if you tow heavy it will be worth the money I think. They do offer a gooseneck hitch as well as the fifth wheel.

I have owned a 2000 Ford F250, a 2002 Dodge 3500, a 2006 Dodge 3500 and a 2007 Dodge 3500. I have had B&W turnover balls in all of them and have never had any trouble with them. I would recommend them to anyone.

 

The B&W is the best I have found, most functional, easiest to hook up to and rated at 30K

 

I like my B&W hicth put it on in about 3-1/2 hours with out pulling the factory panels out of the wheel wells heres some pics

 

a few more shots

 

hey, i love my B&W as stated before... but what is the point of the inverted ball hitch anyway? i need to get the plug for it because i think i hit the axle on the ball the other day... ouch!

 

the inverted hicth is for trailers with the ball on the mastwaytogo alot of folks around here use this setup and the other wayimp:

 

I have for sale an inverted fifthwheel set-up with the binkely head made by Holland Hitch. 32,000k capacity.

ehh, i should have been more specific... whats the advantages of inverted VS regular...

 

well before the b&w it was about the only way to have a flat bed just stick a tennis ball in the hole to keep out the hay & trash and no ball stickn up in the waywaytogo I will try to take some pics of a welded in cupler for you this weekend

 

I have the B&W gooseneck and 5th wheel set up for my truck. I have used this in the last 2 trucks i have had and have been very very happy with it. No matter what set up you decide to go with just make sure it is a reputable brand and that it is installed properly which means tying it into the frame. Be carefull about welding on the frame of new trucks as you will void warranty's not to mention ruin the frame if it is a hydro formed frame.

 

I love my B&W. I tried one of those "Pop Up" style, great idea, but it just wasn't worth crap. Always stuck, either up or down. One time I had to hit it like 5 or 6 times with a 5 lb sledge to get it to drop.

 

My truck was set up w/the Reese Signature Series rails when I bought it. I got the Gooseneck set up. Not quite as handy as the B&W, but I like it better than the old flip up style I had in my '93. Easy to load around the 4 pucks.
