Doesn't use of the B&W Converter require their "proprietary" Turnover Ball that is removable?
Versus the cheaper "rotating balls" that several manufacturers make and are probably most commonly installed?
The ball in my used truck is from Buyers Corp, it tips up and down and uses a hinged steel plate to either hide/cover the ball when retracted or hold it upright for use. In this case, the B&W Fifth Wheel hitch is not compatible.
Hopefully, the Gooseneck Converter I have, which was slightly less expensive than any quality Fifth Wheel Hitch alone (and did not entail any installation expense) will continue to serve well/successfully, as it has so far.
