Our purchase of a 5th wheel is not far off so I am doing my investigating of hitches. I would like the Andersen Ultimate hitch as its lightweight and easier for me to remove. I would also like to not have rails in the bed all the time. So solution is to use a B&W turnover ball under bed mount. Now this is where I am not sure but I will need a mounting plate to adapt to the ball and provide rails for the Andersen to mount. There is a Demco DM6140 mount that appears to do this job. My question is am I thinking properly here or is there something I am missing. Does anyone use a setup like this? Will this be a solid setup? 5th wheel GVW is 13.5 and its going on a '16 GMC 2500.

Personally, I'd also investigate installing the OEM FW prep to the bed of the truck, then getting the B&W OEM Companion. Clean bed without having the, possibly useless-to-you, GN hitch. I needed both GN and FW, so went the full monty with TO Ball and Companion. The Companion does come apart into 2 pieces and I'm still hearty enough to be able to move them around (need the workout anyway), though I =do= prefer to have my gym-rat son-in-law around to help. :B
