Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone that has a B & W companion hitch has a bed saver, Or has ever dropped their trailer on their beds with a companion hitch?

Thanks

Yes...I do...when I bought my first tow vehicle, it had the B&W Turnover Ball already installed. I ordered the Companion because it was the best way to go. I also ordered and had the bed saver installed at the same time. The entire package was included in my fiver deal.

After owning the Companion for a short period of time, I reached the conclusion that the Bed Saver, while nice insurance, was really not needed. It is impossible to high hitch the Companion. If the locking lever close completely when you back under the fiver and you can put the safety pin in the locking lever, it is hitched...period. Only a catastrophic failure of the huge wrap around hitch jaws would cause a lost connection...I have never heard of such a failure...

If I was buying a B&W Companion today, I would skip the Bed Saver...but because I already have it, I will keep it...call it cheap insurance against a failure with almost a zero chance of occurring...
