I returned it, because it was going to change the structural integrity of my 5th wheel camper. Did not use the product.1677830

High quality, heavy duty. I was hoping this was a more temporary mount if I decided to utilize the 5th wheel king pin. However, this is threaded on with 400lb torque and I had to tack weld the mount to the bottom of the king plate as there was no access to bolt through the pin box.1527167

As with any Anderson product I have used, I'm very happy. Very well made products and great customer service1455035

Works great! Used the Anderson Ultimate in the past and it worked great until I put a fuel tank in the truck. After that there wasn’t enough room for the Anderson, needed something different. Check spacing on several hitches but none allowed the room. The gooseneck adapter works as advertised and now have extra bed space for gear. Picked up the gooseneck safety chains also from another vendor just to add the extra safety margin in there. Adapter is easy to hook up and works great. Still have to climb in the bed to hook up safety chains but it does work. Also love the plastic pad between the ball and the hitch so I don’t have a greasy gooseneck ball to deal with.1410830

Haven't installed yet, but is seems very well built and heavy duty. Shipping was fast and easy, no hassle1687159

I thought installation was very easy and it looks like a very well built and sturdy set up. I am actually installing it now and am very impressed1552708

Seems to be a very well built product. Good price and shipped fast. Fairly simple to install, I recommend having a friend or two around to help tighten everything down. Also I preferred to bolt rather than weld ( unless you have a closed off pin box), you never know when you may need to go back to fifth wheel in a hurry.90774

How does collar system attach to king pin ? Thanks

There is a threaded collar that is fitted to the king pin. You would slide the coller up on the king pin. While holding the collar, you will take a split collet and fit that where the jaws normally grab the king pin. You will slide the threaded collar over the split collet and using either a pulley puller or Andersens hammer to seat the collar fully onto the split collet. I have added a pictorial of this portion of the instructions to the photo gallery and linked it here as well. The base of the adapter threads onto the collar and is tightened to ~1200 ft. lbs. The process for getting that much torque is outlined in the instructions and uses the included spanner wrench and a 4 foot cheater pipe. Finally, you will use either the inlcuded four Grade 8 bolts or four 1 inch tack welds to finish securing the adapter to the pin box. If you want to be able to remove adapter, make sure you can access the inside of the pin box so you can use the bolts vs. welds.

Its works great I have since converted 2 more of my fifth wheel trailers to this goose neck hitch

I have pulled my camping trailer approx. 300 hundred miles since I installed the adapter. It works great. Installation was pretty simple, the only difficult part was drilling the four holes thru my fifth wheel box. E-trailer service and shipping were great!112247

Received product 5-10-2017
Installed on 5-11-2017
Gave a test run and seems good fella good and looks great. I like the 24000 and 6000 lbs feature think it is stronger of course.

I have an Ultra-Fab trailair air ride kingpin system on my fifth wheel. Can the gooseneck adapter be installed on that type of system?

Patrick B.

8/19/2013

According to Ultra-Fab, the Trailair pin boxes are not to be used with any kind of gooseneck adapter where the pin box is adapted to attach to a gooseneck ball. You can however adapt the truck to accept a 5th wheel hitch. Your best bet would be a fifth wheel hitch that anchors into a gooseneck like the Draw-Tite Hi-Rise, part 9480 or a Curt Fifth Wheel Adapter plate like C16210 or 16310.

works as advertised, I would recommend this product.1537470

Product shipped/arrived timely from eTrailer; installation instructions provided by Anderson Manuf are very clear/easy to follow. Hitch is very easy to install. Attached to 30' fifth wheel, 11,000lbs tow weight and immediately pulled the trailer thru steep hill country without any hesitation. Pulling cattle trailers/heavy hay trailers, i know heavy duty hitches when i see them and this is a great product; HIGHLY recommended. Remote latching mechanism is a great feature; it too is very solid/secure11335
