This fifth-wheel trailer hitch is not compatible with Sidewinder or Revolution king pins. Do not use any device that changes the pivot point of your trailer’s king pin with this hitch. Simple Removal for Full Bed Access B&W Companion Simple Removal With the Companion from B&W, you get a heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch that mounts in your truck bed by connecting directly to a custom underbed mounting kit (sold separately) with the included components. No modifications are required to your truck or trailer. And no additional parts are required for the system to work. When you’re done towing, the entire hitch can be removed for complete bed access. Quiet, Secure Ride The 1″ thick jaw on the Companion is precision machined to provide a tight, sturdy connection. And unlike slide-bar models, the rounded 2-piece jaw on this fifth-wheel trailer hitch inhibits rattle and movement by securely wrapping around your trailer’s king pin, resulting in easier hookup and a safer, quieter ride. B&W Companion Bushings In addition to the sturdy jaw, the Companion has durable polyurethane bushings built in to provide a smoother, more comfortable towing experience. These bushings sit on top of the pivot arms that support the fifth-wheel head. Because the head is resting on a padded area, it is able to pivot without clanking. The ability of the head to pivot – both front to back and side to side – along with the trailer also helps to limit the chucking that may occur with a more static hitch. Non-Binding Latch Handle The dual jaw on the Companion is operated by a simple-to-use cam-action handle. This handle allows you to quickly and easily release the jaws on the hitch, even if you are on uneven terrain. If any binding does occur between your truck and trailer, the jaws may remain closed after you move the handle to the open position. But because the handle is unlatched, there is nothing keeping the jaws closed except for the binding pressure. Therefore, simply driving your truck forward will be enough to force the jaws to open. The cam-action handle is held in the closed position with the included pin and clip. For extra security, you can replace the pin with a sturdy padlock. The shackle on the lock you choose should have a diameter of 5/16″, height of 3″, and a width of 2-1/4″. Built-In Slider Most often used on trucks with 6′ beds, a slider helps to eliminate clearance problems during slow-speed turns. When you are towing a fifth-wheel trailer, your hitch must be situated on the cab side of your truck’s rear axle. However, at slow speeds you can use a slider to slide the fifth-wheel hitch (and the trailer) toward your truck’s tailgate and past the rear axle, creating enough space between the cab of your truck and the trailer to permit less-restricted turning. The slider that is built into the base of the Companion allows for 12″ of fore and aft travel to give you the clearance you need. Assembly of the B&W Companion The Companion’s pivot arms are what allow the hitch to be adjusted front to back as well as up and down for optimal positioning. As a result, this hitch can accommodate the height of your trailer and also help to give you some additional cab clearance. To adjust either the height of the hitch or the fore/aft positioning, just attach the hitch’s pivot arms in the desired location on the base. The hitch head installs on top of the pivot arms. When you have the head in position, simply secure it to the arms with the included pins.
