The result is a sturdy, high quality hitch with a superb safety record. We also championed the ability to have a rail-free bed when not towing, with a single point attachment to the mounting system. We did that by offering a truly versatile hitch that has many desirable features including jaws that tightly fit the king, and a coupler that is cushioned and pivots in four directions. When the Companion was engineered, the goal was to raise the bar in the 5th Wheel Hitch industry. Any product that prevents the king pin from rotating within the jaws of the Companion with a wedge or other device and moves the center of rotation to a point other than the locking jaws should not be used with the Companion. Therefore, we strongly discourage the use of our Companion 5th Wheel Hitch with one of these pin boxes. We are concerened that moving the pivot point rearward as much as 20 inches puts stress on the hitch (and the truck) that has not been widely studied. It is our opinion that this configuration creates stress loads that fall outside the normal testing done on 5th wheel hitches. This product replaces the pin box on a 5th wheel trailer and changes the pivot point from the hitch jaws to a point rearward of the hitch. We have been made aware of a product that is of special concern. Doing so will void our warranty, but more importantly, could create a safety issue. As a rule of thumb, we do not recommend any products that is used in conjuction with our mounting system that has not been manufactured and tested by B&W, even if that product states it can be used with B&W products. Because of our commitment to exceptional design and quality, we often see products on the market that refer to B&W products or state that they can be used with B&W products. The above information has been provided by the Manufacturer, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy thereof or endorse the opinions expressed.At B&W, there is nothing more important to us than the safety of our customers. These product "firsts" include the aluminum trailer stabilizer jack, custom designed bolt on receiver style trailer hitches, adjustable trunnion style weight distributing systems, dual cam sway controls, removable fifth wheel hitches, sliding fifth wheel hitches, class IV trailer hitches and "install it yourself" multi fit trailer hitches.Īt Reese we take pride in discovering new products and technologies to enhance and improve the towing industry.
