I would like to know if I could get some idea of what it would cost me to get a 5th wheel setup for my pickup. I am also worried if I do go through the expence I would not have a truck bed left to use beings the setup would take my cargo capacity away

Look at the B&W companion hitch. It only requires a 4" hole in the bed and no rails in the way.
I'm running a B&W setup. Underbed and the companion 5th wheel.
About $900 for both parts. Very clean install, did it my self.
Takes about 5 minutes to remove the 5th wheel hitch, then I cover it with a bed mat.
Great setup!!:)

I was wondering the same thing when we bought our 5'er here about 3 weeks ago and then when I made the deal on the 5'er I made sure to include it + the brake controller (Prodogy) in the deal or "NO SALE". You'd be surprised how much these RV dealers will bend when it comes to add-ons, price dickering is another story. My hitch is a "Hi-Jacker" super slide double pivot. It works really well.....................SWH...

What does a turnover-ball gooseneck hitch run?

My B&W gooseneck setup was somewhere around $320 and if you are mechanically inclined it only takes about 1hr to install.
