The B&W Hitches RVR2604 is a purpose-built bracket kit designed to support installation of B&W's legendary Turnoverball gooseneck hitch system. Whether you are completing a new hitch installation or replacing damaged mounting hardware, this kit delivers the structural integrity and precision fitment that B&W is known for -- backed by over 30 years of towing industry leadership.
B&W Hitches built their reputation on the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch -- a system trusted by ranchers, contractors, and RV towers across North America. The RVR2604 bracket kit supplies the critical frame-mounting components that anchor the Turnoverball ball assembly securely to your truck's frame rails, transferring tongue load directly to the vehicle structure rather than relying on bed-floor attachment points alone.
At 27.5 lbs, this is a substantial, all-steel hardware package. The boxed dimensions of 28.0 x 8.5 x 4.0 inches reflect the full bracket assembly -- no trimming, no fabrication, and no searching for hardware at the local shop. Everything needed for the bracket mounting stage of the installation arrives together in one box.
Formed and welded steel brackets engineered to handle the sustained tongue loads of gooseneck towing without flex or fatigue.
Designed specifically for B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch platforms -- the industry benchmark for in-bed gooseneck towing.
Ships as a boxed kit so all bracket components arrive together, reducing installation delays and parts-sourcing hassles.
Mounts directly to the truck frame rails for maximum structural load transfer -- the correct approach for heavy gooseneck trailer towing.
The B&W Turnoverball is a retractable gooseneck ball that folds flush with the truck bed floor when not in use, giving you a clean, flat bed for hauling cargo between towing jobs. When you need to tow, the ball flips up and locks in position. The system is vehicle-specific -- B&W manufactures unique frame mounting kits for hundreds of truck applications -- and the RVR2604 bracket kit is the hardware package that anchors the entire assembly to the frame.
Because the Turnoverball routes load through the frame rather than through the bed floor, it is the preferred setup for heavy gooseneck trailers including livestock trailers, equipment haulers, and large fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck adapted rigs. RV towers pulling gooseneck-converted fifth-wheels also rely on this platform for its clean bed integration and solid weight ratings.
Gooseneck tongue loads can easily exceed 2,000 to 3,000 lbs on larger trailers. Routing that load directly into the truck's frame rails -- rather than distributing it through bed-floor bolts -- is the structurally correct approach and is required by most trailer manufacturers for warranty compliance on heavy rigs.
The RVR2604 bracket kit is installed as part of the complete B&W Turnoverball hitch system. General installation steps include:
B&W Turnoverball hitch kits are vehicle-specific by design. The RVR2604 bracket kit is engineered for particular truck frame configurations -- confirm that RVR2604 is the correct bracket number for your specific year, make, model, and cab/bed configuration before ordering. B&W's online hitch selector tool and your truck's VIN are the most reliable references for fitment confirmation.
If you currently tow a fifth-wheel trailer and are considering a gooseneck conversion, the B&W Turnoverball paired with a B&W Companion fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck adapter is one of the most popular setups among serious RV towers. The Turnoverball provides the gooseneck ball anchor point in the bed, and the Companion adapter couples your existing fifth-wheel kingpin trailer to that ball -- giving you the clean bed floor of a gooseneck system with the flexibility to tow conventional fifth-wheel trailers as well.
