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.

    B&W Companion with a Turnover hitch should work. Once Companion is removed truck bed is completely flat.

    Look into a B&W TurnOver Ball (for gooseneck trailers) and use it with an Andersen Ultimate Fifth Wheel Connection. The turnover ball flips flush with the bed of the truck and Andersen makes a lightweight (less than 50 lbs.) aluminum fifth wheel system that anchors to the truck bed using the TurnOver ball. It would be a perfect setup for you.
