Overview
The B&W Companion OEM 5th wheel slider hitch kit, part number RVK3670, is a fifth-wheel slider designed to fit the Ram OEM hitch platform. It gives twelve inches of slide, so a fifth-wheel trailer has more room to maneuver, which B&W says is useful for owners towing with a short bed truck.
The kit uses a two-piece design that installs and removes easily. Its cam-actuated latching mechanism provides hookup and release, and cast locking jaws that are 1″ thick are machined with tight tolerances for a secure connection to the camper.
Key features
- Twelve inches of slide for extra fifth-wheel maneuvering room
- Two-piece design for easy installation and removal
- Cam-actuated latching mechanism for effortless hookup and release
- 1″ thick cast locking jaws machined with tight tolerances
- Designed to fit the Ram OEM hitch platform
Ram platform and slide use
A slider with a long slide gives the fifth wheel room to move, which can make tight turns and backing easier with a short bed truck. The slide only helps when the head, slider and rails are properly aligned, so check that the movement is smooth before relying on it on the road.
Because the slider locks the trailer in place through the camper’s pin, latch wear or a locking jaw that does not close fully is a safety concern. Inspect the jaws and cam regularly, keep the sliding path clean, and lubricate moving parts as the wear surfaces call for. A slider that has been dropped, bent or struck should be checked before towing.
- Confirm the platform matches your truck
- Check jaws and cam for wear
- Keep the sliding path clean
