King Pin Use And The BW System

Written by Hitchweb Team Monday, June 24, 2013

I have an existing King Pin on my trailer and want to use the B&W Turnover Ball on my Dodge Ram 3500 - How can I do this?

If you have an existing king pin on your trailer there are a couple of solutions. We offer a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter that will attach onto your existing king pin box and couple onto the gooseneck ball in the back of their truck. This option is best if you want to go back to a 5th wheel set up in the future. Another option is you can permanently change your pin box to a gooseneck style hitch. We offer the Reese goosebox as a full pin box replacement*. Use this option if you want to fully convert to gooseneck style hitches.

Written by Hitchweb Team Monday, June 17, 2013

The new 2013 Ram 3500 has a factory 5th wheel / Gooseneck prep kit available. Do you carry the RV 5th wheel hitch or Goosneck to fit in to it?

Goosneck & Companion Mounting Kit - 2013 Dodge 3500

The only system currently available is the GNRK1314 Gooseneck system. This will not work with the B&W Turnover Ball System BW3000.

Indent In Class 1 Trailer Hitch

Written by Hitchweb Team Wednesday, June 5, 2013

I received my class 1 trailer hitch with an indentation inside the receiver, is this normal?

Yes, this lance found inside the receiver is typical on class I hitches and is not a defect. This lance goes back years ago and it was used to prevent certain products with higher load capacity or higher rated Class II ballmounts from being used. A product to consider to be used with a Class I hitch would have a distance of no more than 1 11/16” from center of pin hole to end of shank.

FIFTH WHEEL ON CHEVROLET AVALANCHE

Written by Hitchweb Team Thursday, May 23, 2013

Can I put a Fifth Wheel on my Chevrolet Avalanche?

Chevrolet Avalanche

Because the Chevrolet Avalanche does not have enough clearance in the bed, there is no Fifth Wheel available. No manufacturer will warrant a Fifth Wheel for this vehicle.
