The following is an email I sent to B & W about their hitch:
"I am looking at the RVK3600 for my 2014 RAM 3500 Big Horn 3500 8 ft. bed, but I have a question. Being in the steel business, I have both a 3/4" thick poly truck bed liner & 1/4" thick bed mat = 1" deck rise. I used a 5" dia. hole saw on location to expose the factory gooseneck and fifth wheel pucks. Is exposing the OEM pucks enough to use the hitch, or would I have to cut out under the 5th wheel hitch as well? From the photos, it looks like the hitch only sets on the 4 pucks & rises up from the bed about 1 - 1/2"- Thanks, Jeff"
Below is the response from B & W:
"Good morning Jeff. Sorry we missed you! There should be no problems installing our RVK 3600 on your truck. With the diameter you have cut to expose the pucks that should help with any latching issue that can occur. If you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance please let me know. Thank you.
When I make the switch from travel trailer to 5th wheel, the above B & W information assures me that I will have no issues installing the hitch in my truck with the liners installed.
