Does anyone have a used one they want to get rid of ??

 

Ive been looking for a nice used 5th wheel. Ive been looking serious for about 2 months since I sold my Lance camper. Hunting season is here and I need one fast.

Its hard to find a nice used one that I want at a good price. I have drove many miles looking at them.

Id say give yourself several months , maybe 6 months to a year ,to find what you want . Ive seen alot overpriced and alot of neglicated 5ers. Seems the good deals go fast and others cant sell .

Do you already have the gooseneck ? The companion option runs about $650 . I have one and I'm really satisfied with it but not interested in selling it . I better keep a close eye on it though if my wife spots your post .

 

Yes I already have the gooseneck, I am just needing to get the companion 5th wheel before the end of this month, thought I might find a used one cheaper than a new one, they are a bit high in price. By the way, where do you live ?? Just kidding, Anyway, so how do you like the companion 5th wheel ?? I am curious as to how it does compared to other 5th wheel hitches like reese, ect.

 

And I live in KY , ain't that a tease ? I've only used the hitch half a dozen times . I was hauling RV's until fuel prices started going up in June . I like the way the B&W locks . I feel more secure with that type lock than with the type that can be released by just pulling the handle like a big truck . I might try selling my truck soon since there is such a demand for RV haulers for FEMA . Bennett and possibly others will sign on trucks without a fifth wheel so I may pull it out before selling . (Another tease )

 

Well if you decide to sell it let me know, I am just right across the river from you over by rockport. I would actually like to get into delivering campers on the side maybe just on the weekends, I just dont know to much about it or where to get started. I thought a person might be able to make a few bucks on the weekends if they weren't busy.

 

If anybody is interested, I found a place in evansville, IN that sales the B & W Companion hitch for 600.00 bucks, that is the cheapest I have found anywhere, went ahead and had them order me one today. Found it on the internet for 595.00 but shipping was another 50 bucks.

 

If rates come up your nearest terminal would be Bennett in Campbellsville , KY . There's a Feetwood plant there . You'd have to take orientation in Bristol . IN but have Billy in Campbellsville let you make that your home terminal . Bristol is too slow with paperwork and understaffed . Whenever I pulled for Billy I was always paid within a few hours of faxing my paoperwork in . You can pull just a couple of trailers a month to keep your lease . You might check with big RV lots in Louisville and Evansville and see if they have sold trailers to FEMA and how they are moving them . That would be better money .

 

Just got one and love it. Baught a new fiver in Richmond, IN and part of the deal was to throw in a B/W companion installed. Huge diffrence in the ride compared to my 30ft g/n I wish all trailors were fivers

 

Hey! Would you please send me the website address for the B&W companion hitch? Thanks

 

Where did you find the B&W companion hitch? Thanks,Craig

 

Check with local RV dealers . I bought mine from a welding shop that sells hitches . It might help if you give your location .
Do you already have the gooseneck ? From what I've seen the prices quoted here are for the 5th wheel to be used with an existing gooseneck .

 

I live in Louisiana and I am looking for the companion hitch to go with my B&W gooseneck. Someone posted they found one for 595.00 plus shipping.Can anyone tell me where?

 

Hey, Deezulsmoke. Can you tell me where you got the B&W companion hitch? Thanks, Craig..........

 

Note his post is almost 5 years old . Prices have gone up . The going new price now is $799 . There are several on sale at eBay with that "buy it now" price with free shipping . There re a couple for sale on eBay private auction . One is already over $400 and you'll pay shipping . I'd go new with a regular dealer .
