Fifth wheel hitch for turn over ball
I was able to purchase a B&W turn over hitch for my truck this weekend ($30 ??) Now I am looking for a fifth wheel set up. Would the Anderson Ultimate or Companion work better with my short bed? There...

I just sold a fifth wheel (Lippert frame) that was connected to an Anderson hitch. LOVED the set up! However----Important that you check with the trailer manufacturer to see if the Anderson will void the warrantee.
I found that the Anderson block was ahead of the pin, and it seemed to transfer trailer weight forward. Kind of like pushing up on your chin vs. pushing up on your nose. Also, a king pin hitch has a flat plate that the trailer frame rests on. Whether or not, we had 1 3/16 king pin flex on a two year old fifth wheel.
The set up was a joy to use. No chucking or clunking, and easy to check the connection.
