The B&W Hitches RVC3200 Patriot Coupler is the solution for truck owners who already run a gooseneck hitch and don't want to install a separate 5th wheel slider. Attach the Patriot to the king pin of your 5th wheel trailer and you're ready to tow with a standard 2-5/16 inch gooseneck ball -- no bed rails, no plate, no dedicated 5th wheel hitch occupying your truck bed.
Many truck owners find themselves in a frustrating position: they have a quality gooseneck hitch installed for work or other trailers, but they want to tow a 5th wheel RV or equipment trailer on weekends. Installing a full 5th wheel hitch on top of a gooseneck setup means drilling, re-wiring, and consuming your entire truck bed. The B&W Patriot Coupler solves this cleanly -- it installs on the trailer side, connects to your existing gooseneck ball, and delivers the solid, low-profile tow you need without touching your truck setup.
B&W Hitches is an American manufacturer based in Humboldt, Kansas, known for precision-machined towing products. The Patriot Coupler fits into the B&W "Turnoverball" and "Companion" ecosystem, designed to give gooseneck hitch owners a path to 5th wheel compatibility without compromise.
Designed to couple directly to a standard 2-5/16 inch gooseneck ball -- works with B&W Turnoverball and other quality gooseneck hitches.
Attaches to the standard 2 inch king pin on your 5th wheel trailer -- no trailer-side modifications required on most units.
Manufactured by B&W Hitches in Humboldt, Kansas using heavy-gauge steel construction and a durable powder coat finish.
Eliminates the need for bed rails, mounting plates, or a dedicated 5th wheel hitch -- your truck bed stays clear for gooseneck loads.
The RVC3200 mounts to the king pin box of your 5th wheel trailer in place of -- or alongside -- your standard 5th wheel pin connection. When you're ready to tow, you back under the trailer and the Patriot's coupler jaw latches onto the gooseneck ball just like a conventional gooseneck trailer coupler would. The geometry is engineered to maintain correct towing angles and weight distribution consistent with 5th wheel towing dynamics.
This approach means the coupler travels with the trailer, not the truck. If you tow with multiple trucks -- some equipped with 5th wheel hitches and some with gooseneck setups -- the Patriot Coupler makes the trailer compatible with either without modifying any truck.
The RVC3200 Patriot Coupler is designed to fit trailers equipped with a standard 2 inch king pin -- the most common king pin size on North American 5th wheel RVs and equipment trailers. Before purchasing, verify your trailer's king pin size (2 inch is nearly universal, but some heavy commercial applications use larger pins).
The Patriot Coupler installs on the trailer's king pin box. Installation is a one-time setup on the trailer side. Once installed, hitching and unhitching is a routine gooseneck ball-and-coupler operation -- familiar to any driver who has towed a gooseneck trailer.
