Demco makes a 5th wheel lifting bracket that looks really nice. Only problem is it's $50. I have a winch in the ceiling of my basement, that for years I've used a strap to pull my hitch out. With my new b&w hitch it would be pretty difficult to use a strap. A friend and I made a few of these lifting bracket for ourselves. Only have a couple dollars in them, and they seem to work really well. They're modeled after the ones from demco, with a few changes.

Looks nice. Separate the head from the base and they are not all that heavy.

When I have to pull mine, which isn't very often at all, I separate the two pieces and take them out one at a time. A little awkward, but not that bad. But that would be handy for use with access to a winch.

I just use the 5th wheel.......with 5vr hitched I pull the hitch pins and raise it using landing gear legs.Leave it hanging from king pin.

I have a hoist mounted in the bed of my truck. I use it to place my generator in the bed when we take it. Off load the B&W slider hitch base when I don't need it and to reload it it back into the bed. Purchased it for $75.00 at HF.
