The old style tower converter used to do the same to me but this one here has a rubber bearing in the collar you see where the two chrome pins are that eliminated that. I do have to agree with you that the big bolt in plate works better. I just won't fool with 5th whls or GNs anymore. I need the bed space.

I have a removable goose ball that slides into a square hole with a quick pin to hold it in place and I am thinking of getting a 5th wheel plate that will slide into that same hole so I don't have to mount anything to the bed... Anyone know of one?

That removable hitch is made by B & W turnover hitches... They make a fifth wheel plate that COMPLETELY comes out of the bed with the pull of one lever in the wheel well. THIS IS THE HITCH I HAVE. Fantastic

I saw one just like that. I think it is the Companion Don was talking about. I hear it works real good and doesn't use anything but the GN square hole but it was way too big for me to lugg around when I also try to use the bed when not using the 5th whl. They are good.

Any idea what they cost/where to get one? or someone have one they are willing to part with cheap? And if so, anyone needing a "Backhaul" to get it to me? HAHAHAHAHAA
Ok... the first part of that was serious anyway...

Gator....I know a gentleman (Ron) in AZ that has a BW Companion.  Several months back he had thought about selling it.  He may have changed his mind, but if he's still interested in parting with it he'll read this post and he can let me know.  If he wants to sell it I'll get the two of you together via email or phone.........

Thanks Don! I am really in no hurry for one, just figured it would give me a little bit of diversity and might come in handy some day. Things are changing daily around here and I really have no clue which way things are gonna go!
You know how to get ahold of me.

John & Gator....I bcc'd you on an email I reponded to from a Texas driver.  Let me know if you don't mind and I'll give him your contact info.  He's trying to get going down there and I figured you two were the best to advise him.

I got the e-mail and already sent him an e-mail with some info and my contact info. Might not hear from John for a few days. He said he was taking his computer with him, but not sure how often he will get to check it!

Gator, Thanks....I saw John was on a few minutes back but he may be on the road and too busy to answer.  The guy sounded earnest and sincere about needing some help.  You guys are the best to give him guidance so I'll bow out unless he asks me something specifically.  I appreciate your willingness to assist these guys that are sincere and need direction.

I gotta get out of here and get a couple of things done.  I'm hitting the road tomorrow for somewhere.....?  When I pull out if there's traffic coming from the right, I'll turn the other way.  If it is coming from the left....well you know the answer.  I don't know if I'll go to the East Coast or AZ at the moment.  I'll take my computer but I still may be nearing the end of my participation in uShip.  Full retirement is really becoming more appealing and attractive.  It has been fun and if I don't come back to the forums I still have the "Good Guys" contact info..............

See you on the road somewhere...............

Don
