B&W Companion 5th Wheel hitch and SHORT BED...

Anyone pulling a 5th wheel with their short bed using the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch? I can get the turnover ball and Companion hitch for about $750, but not sure if it will work for me without being able to slide. So if you have this setup please chime in and tell me about your experiences. Thanks!

A fellow in our RVing group is pulling an Everest 5th wheel with a 2003 QC short bed using the B&W. Both his rear cab pillars are dented in.

That's right. I think you told me that story before!

Have you seen the Sidewinder by http://www.fifthairborne.com/ yet?

Yeah, I've seen their video. I don't know what to make of it....it certainly looks impressive on a computer screen.

That it does. I'll have to keep my eyes open in the campgrounds so I can take a closer look...
