Need a 5er hitch that'll work with the TC

We're going to Hershey next month to look at 5ers. We want one for retirement in a few years. But we'll also wanna use our TC on Assateague Island, love AI. Does anyone have a solution for this scenario? I guess we can go TT but I'd prefer a 5th wheel. Or we can buy a second truck... nope, that's not gonna happen!
I guess I can get under the truck and remove a few bolts. And I have a stall mat in the bed I can cut out for a mounting plate.
Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.

    You could add the B&W TurnoverBall with the 20K Companion. But I bet it would be less expensive to add the Ford 4 factory pucks then buy the 20K B&W puck Companion hitch.

    On my Ram the OEM 5th wheel prep kit was $218 and the B&W turnoverball kit is $431.
  • I have the underbed system for the fiver hitch, rubber mat fits over nicely when using the TC. Used both this month, glad the DW insisted we keep the TC.
