Has anyone used this set-up I'm looking at it for my new 5th wheel?
 
Yea, I have one. Nice unit only downfall I see so far is you must pin the jaws open and that means when you back up into the hitch the jaws dont close automatically like most hitches on this you must do it manually.
 
I don't pin mine open,leave lever in neutral position ,opens and then latch and pin and visually look at the latches to verify closure.Love mine.

X2. I have been using the B&W Companion since 2002. Heavy built unit.
 
Only thing i wish it had was a higher rating.. 18k lbs is enough for me. Not so much for my Dad's truck/trailer. Ah well. He's already got rails anyways. But I definitely want one!
