We're going to get the B & W - just have to settle on the truck first! T and R trailer Mfg sells the turnover ball for $299 plus shipping and the companion hitch for $599 plus shipping. I have sent an e-mail asking how much shipping is, but haven't gotten a reply yet. You can order online or 800-441-5250. I don't know how much installation should cost - we will be paying $350 at RV dealership. Buying from them should save you some compared to $2000.

Hope this helps.

 

Installation should be no more than $100. The B&W install easily. If you have the right tools and have done 1 before, the whole process should not take more than 1-1.5 hrs. You might consider doing it yourself. The instructions are excellent. I installed mine 2 wks. ago and had never done it before. Took about 3 hrs., but a lot of that was measuring and re-measuring to be sure I didn't screw up.

 

just installed the b&w turn over and love it and would recomend it on the court house steps easy to install your self only takes 1 to 1.5hr install

 

I don't know about the 5th Wheel device, but the B&W gooseneck - installed is costing me $475.00USD in Minneapolis (I'm driving down to pick up a trailer and the dealer is doing the install at the same time). I tried to source this hitch locally, but was quoted over $750 installed, plus I couldn't find anyone who had installed one before in my city.

I'm buying a Sundowner 2H Gooseneck with living quarters from the dealer in Minneapolis. They are a high volume dealer of this premium trailer manufacturer. When I asked advice about installing a B&W hitch - they said in their opinion it was the best hitch available. It accounts for a high percentage of the GN hitches they install.

 

It's in and all I can say is that it ROCKS!

 

Hey! If you haven't already had it installed, I would suggest POR-15'ing it before you install it. Mine has been on a few months now and is rusting quite a bit. When I get home I'm going to do the annoying job of REMOVING it just to paint it, and then reinstall it because it is something I really want to last. (EDIT: woops, too late).
