I have heard you are not supposed to advertise items for sale here like the Companion 18K I just removed and have no further need for.;)

So does that mean, now that I too have the RVK3600:), that, like you, I shouldn't mention that I'll be trying to sell the picture frame adapter and the Reese 20K Signature hitch that I recently removed from my truck? So, like you I won't say anything about it....:B

B&W has a great product...I'm eager to hook up and tow with it for the first time

Hey Jim, welcome to our B&W fan club! Be sure to get your fan boy T-shirt from Ron!;)

I already have my B&W, but I'm sure many folks are wondering what a used Companion would be worth? Some may even be curious, as to the value of a used Reese 20K sig. Anyone know the used value of these type of hitches?:h

Jerry

The picture frame adapter's are expensive....but I know where one can get a great deal on one.:B Same for the Reese 20K Sig hitch...

Yeah, Ron "kinda" got me into the B&W hitches and well...here we are:)

I would thing a used B&W 18K Companion would go for around $500. If someone wanted to buy mine I think I could let it go for that.

I will be traveling South from NW WA to SoCal along !-5 starting this coming weekend.

The new Companion sells for $879.

Had a Drawtite Slider for 8 yrs. and replaced it with a Patriot a couple of years ago. Very good hitch.(and quiet too)

I went from Pullright SG. Best hitch I ever had, but with DRW truck did't need the slider. Didn't get the Patriot, but bought the puck hitch. Fantastic hitch. Quit and smooth.

There is a patriot for sale close to me for about $200.00 on Craigslist . I've thought about buying it and storing it for that price just in case we ever get a fiver.

OP, are you going to use the Curt X5 rail adaptor for your gooseneck or are you going to install fifth wheel rails along with your gooseneck.

Thanks!

Jeremiah

Have to use the X-rail cause no body makes a rail that will work with the curt frame.
I don't know why BW doesn't make an adapter for the Companion to a Curt.If I had known what I know now wouldn't have let dealer install Curt,great hitch just locked in.,I actually like X-rail,its just that dang Reese hitch I don't like

I bought a new truck and installed a Patriot hitch. My previous hitch was a Super Glide. It did what it was supposed to do but it always made noise, clunked and rattled. The Patriot is silent whether hitched or unhitched. Very easy to couple and uncouple. I only wish it was available in a heavier version than the the 16K. One of the best buys available in a 16K hitch at any price.

I believe the make an 18K version as well:

I bought my Patriot last year and never looked back (literally). Seems like with my old Curt hitch it was so noisy that I was constantly checking the rear veiw mirror to make sure it was still latched. Now the Patriot is as quiet as a church mouse. When fall came around I took the head off and sat it in the cab of the truck. Then I pulled the pins and pulled the rest out and sat it inside the door on the trailer to keep the snow off everything for the winter.
