Companion 5th Wheel RV Hitch Model: 3000
The Turnover Ball hitch is first installed and then the Companion latches into the 2½ inch square hole. Many RV hitches use mounting rails bolted into the truck bed and when you remove the hitch the mounting rails are still there. The Companion hitch was the first hitch on the market to have all the mounting rails below the truck bed floor. It is rated to 18,000 lbs. GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) and 4500 lbs. VPW (Vertical Pin Weight).
A unique feature of the B&W Companion is its cam-action latching mechanism. The locking jaws are a full 1 1/8" thick, providing a worry-free hook-up. The head pivots from side-to-side (a full 7 degrees) to help prevent binding, as well as from back-to-front. A single hydraulic shock absorber helps to stabilize the side-to-side motion. The shock also holds the head level for easier hook-up. Vibration-dampening polyurethane bushings act as the base for the front-to-back pivot of the unique saddle assembly of the coupler. The Companion has 3 front-to-back and 3 up-and-down adjustments for optimal turning clearance and weight positioning. This hitch also works with any bed liner.
B&W plates the cam, the arms, and the jaw assembly to prevent rusting. The rest of the hitch is gray powder-coated to ensure a long-lasting finish.
Non-marring pads protect the bed of your truck from direct metal-to-metal contact. The Companion also boasts a sleek, yet rugged design to look like it belongs in the bed of your truck, ready to work.
Companion 5th Wheel RV Hitch For Flat Beds Model: 3050
The Companion Flatbed RV 5th Wheel Hitch has a tow rating of 22,000 lbs. GVW. Due to the height of the bed floor and hitch requirements, the Companion Flatbed Model does not utilize the lateral shock absorbers. It has a much more compact base, with a fixed hitch height. The installation of the hitch is quick and simple. It attaches to the bed utilizing the socket of the Turnover Ball flat bed hitch. The release pin is pulled out and the post below the base is inserted into the socket (Pic 1). The release pin is then moved back into the locked position. The snug bolt has been designed with an internal mechanism that the release pin goes through to secure the post. The snug bolt is tightened (Pic 2), which pulls the padded hitch base down against the bed floor. The head assembly is then placed down on the pivot arms until the head assembly is latched. Release the hitch coupler handle to connect your trailer. After connection, lock the handle back and install the locking pin and you are ready to go.
