The Companion is a 5th wheel RV hitch that is unlike most conventional fifth wheel hitches in production today. Many systems will use an in bed rail system in order to fasten the hitch to the truck, which can be a great inconvenience and unwieldy setup. The B & W Companion hitch is actually an accessory that will use a Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch as a mounting system. This allows for convenience and stability, allowing the hitch to be easily removed from the bed while only creating a 4" hole in the bed of the vehicle for the gooseneck.
Installation could not be easier. The companion comes in two boxes, one with the base, and one with the couple. There are 8 bolts, one post, and two u-bolts involved in the installation. It can normally be done in under 10 minutes.
