Lifting my 5th wheel hitch
As I have posted earlier, we have moved up to a Grand Design 5th wheel and a new Ram 2500 CTD. I talked the DW into letting me get the B&W Companion sliding hitch that fits in the factory puck system....

I have the B&W Slider and a Ford F350. I bought a HF engine hoist..I think the 1,000 pounder. It will not completely reach to my goose neck hole. ( not puck system) My bro in law purchased the larger hitch from HF and his is longer. I believe the 2,000 pounder. It extends out farther.
I too am trying to figure out how to get it out of the hole..then slide to within reach of hoist to get it out of truck. No beams to attach winch. I didn’t know if a floor jack rigged up in some way could get it out of the hole and onto a dolly to get it to hoist. I want to leave hitch in a storage unit not on fifth wheel.
Good luck! If you figure out something please post back here your solution.
I had an extension made for my hoist. It is really too long for my short bed truck, but it works just fine. I recently read where someone used a pipe instead of a square tube to make their extension. Wish I'd've thought of that... :B
