Along with the adapter plate I purchased a fairly simple Curt hitch (not a slider) Now I read on a Reese site that the revolution is not compatible with B&W gooseneck adapter plates.
I think you went to a shop that either isn't familiar with B&W hitches or they simply carry other brands and wanted to sell you what they had.
You should have been able to purchase a B&W 5th wheel companion that would have worked just fine with the gooseneck in your truck and hte Reese Revolution pin box on your 5er.
The other option is to replace your pin box with a Reese Goose Box. This is a Lipert frame approved and will let you connect your 5er directly to the gooseneck ball without a 5th wheel hitch.
