  • Recommended Gooseneck Hitch Ball to 5th Wheel Trailer Adapter
  • The Fifth Wheel Trailer King Pin # 337KP20050 is a weld on king pin to make your trailer compatible with 5th wheel hitches.

If you have a gooseneck hitch installed in your truck and you have a 5th wheel trailer, then you will want the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045...

  • Will a 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Work With Cushioned Pin Box
  • I do have an option for you but none of the fifth wheel to gooseneck adapters will work with a cushioned pin box. Therefore, I recommend using a gooseneck to fifth wheel adapter like the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550046 which is designed for recessed applications.

  • Can The Trailair Flex Air Pin Box Be Used With The Andersen Gooseneck and 5th Wheel Adapter
  • Lippert states that the Trailair Flex Air 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328484 cannot be used with any type gooseneck/5th wheel adapter. This would include the Andersen Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Adapter # AM3200. The manufacturer has determined that the Trailair Flex Air pin box must use a traditional 5th wheel hitch.The issue with this particular pin box is there is not enough stability between the movement of the pin box and the movement around the gooseneck ball.

  • 5th Wheel To Gooseneck Adapter Using A Draw-Tite Underbed Gooseneck Hitch
  • I do have some options available for you however, the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # C16210 is not compatible with the Draw-Tite Underbed Gooseneck Hitches. Unfortunately, there are not any 5th wheel adapter plates that fit the Draw-Tite gooseneck therefore, you have two options. You can use a 5th wheel to gooseneck pin box adapter like the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5GX1216 which has a 7-1/2" offset to account for turning clearance.

  • Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter For Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Hitch
  • For a gooseneck to 5th wheel trailer that you can use, the recommended option simply depends on the shape of your gooseneck tube, whether it is square or round. The inside dimension of a square gooseneck tube should be 4 inches, while the inside dimension of a round gooseneck tube should be 4 inches in diameter. If that's what you have you can use one of the following: - Round Tube: Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter # KPG5-R25-IP - Square Tube: Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Trailer...

  • Gooseneck Hitch Adapter for 5th Wheel Trailer Connection on 2017 Ram 3500 Short Bed
  • The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 is only compatible with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches. If you have a different gooseneck hitch, then there are other potential options. For instance, the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C16210 will work on that gooseneck to give you rails so you can add a sliding hitch. Curt also has an adapter option for their EZr double lock...

  • Recommendation on a 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter
  • The Convert-A-Ball 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter, # CAB-C5G, would be a good option for some who has both a gooseneck and 5th wheel trailer. This adapter has a 20,000 lbs weight capacity. All the needed parts and materials will be included with the adapter. I have included an installation video show how the Convert-A-Ball adapter will install on to a 5th wheel trailer and how to hook-the trailer up to your gooseneck hitch. This adapter will connect to almost any 5th wheel pin box. However,...

  • How to Tow a 5th Wheel Trailer with MORryde Pin Box on a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  • I do have an option that will allow you to tow a 5th wheel trailer with the gooseneck hitch you have installed on your 2004 Dodge Ram but none of our 5th wheel to gooseneck adapters including the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5GX1216 will work with your MORryde pin box. Using both a cushioned pin box and cushioned adapter would create far too much stress on both the adapter and pin box. The only option I have for you to tow your trailer without installing...

  • Can An Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball Be Used With An Extended 5th Wheel To Gooseneck Adapter
  • It sounds to me like you have a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter like the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter part # AM3100 already installed on your 5th wheel trailer. To answer your question, yes, a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter is compatible with an offset gooseneck hitch ball. It is important to not that an offset gooseneck adapter, such as part # AM3139, should not be used with an offset gooseneck ball. However, as gooseneck hitch balls are specific to the...

  • Can a Reese Sidewinder with Rotating Coupler be Used with a 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter
  • If you need some extra clearance, we do carry several 5th wheel to gooseneck trailer hitch adapters. I recommend the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter with 8 Inch Offset, # AM3139. This adapter will give you 8 inches more clearance than a standard straight 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter. This unit is also height adjustable from 11-3/4 inches to 14-3/4 inches, and it has a gross trailer weight capacity of 24,000 pounds and vertical pin weight capacity of 6,00 pounds....

  • Is There a 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter for Curt Quick Goose 2 Gooseneck Hitch in 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
  • While we have an option for you to tow a 5th wheel trailer, the Curt X5 adapter won't work with the Curt Quick Goose 2, and there isn't a way to use a sliding hitch with this gooseneck. There is an adapter that will fit a gooseneck ball and act as a 5th wheel hitch that you can use, which is the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045. The base of the Recon will attach directly to the gooseneck ball and will become a 5th wheel hitch with a 21,000 lb capacity....

  • Can Redline Gooseneck Coupler Head Attach to 5th Wheel Trailer
  • We do have some options for you, though the Redline 2-5/16" Gooseneck Coupler Head # 291300 should not be attached to a 5th wheel trailer's kingpin; it is really only designed to weld onto a gooseneck tube. What you can use instead is an adapter will allow you to tow your 5th wheel trailer with your truck's gooseneck, and there are two options depending on if you have a long bed or short bed truck: - Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G - Convert-A-Ball Cushioned...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch for a Curt Underbed Gooseneck Hitch
  • B&W does not but I have something that is comparable. B&W's Turnoverball systems and their Companion hitches work exclusively with each other and are not compatible with other gooseneck hitches like your Curt item # C611-624 or item # C607-604. They have a square receiver over a circular one. To connect a 5th wheel hitch to the Curt gooseneck ball in your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500, I recommend the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter item # DM8550045. This 5th wheel...

  • Available Adapter To Attach A 5th-Wheel Trailer To Reese Fold Down Gooseneck Hitch
  • If you do not have the gooseneck installed yet the most recommended setup you can use is to have a 5th-wheel system installed first and then when you wish to tow a gooseneck trailer, you would remove the 5th-wheel hitch and use an adapter plate, like the Curt 25K Gooseneck Plate for Fifth Wheel Rails, part # 16055, with a gooseneck ball attached for towing. If you already have a gooseneck or wish to have a gooseneck hitch installed and use an adapter to convert it to a fifth wheel hitch...

  • Needing to Pull a Gooseneck Trailer with a 5th Wheel Hitch
  • I have a solution for you, however, the B&W Turnoverball King Pin Adapter, # BWGNXA4000, is designed to drop into a B&W Underbed Gooseneck Hitch, like # BWGNRK1197, and tow an inverted 5th wheel hitch. In your case, if you are towing a gooseneck trailer with a 5th wheel hitch, your best option would be to use a Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler, like # BD0289640300. Replacing the inner tube on the gooseneck with this adapter will allow you to connect the trailer to a 5th wheel hitch....

  • Recommended Adapter To Tow 5th Wheel Trailer With 2012 Ford F-350 Flat Bed With Gooseneck Hitch
  • I talked with our towing Expert and there is an option available with limitations. You can use an adapter like the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter, part # CAB-C5G. This adapter attaches to the gooseneck ball in your flat bed and you can then tow your fifth wheel trailer with it. The Expert here has this setup with his 9-ft flat bed and has an extended pin box on the trailer and says he cannot execute sharp turns without hitting the trailer, so a 10-ft bed would...

  • Is Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter Compatible w/ MORryde Pin Box
  • MORryde pin boxes are either cushioned or rotating pin boxes, which means they are not compatible with any bolt-on 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter, including the Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5G. That leaves you with a couple options to tow your 5th wheel trailer with a truck that has a gooseneck ball. One is to use the Demco Recon: - Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 The Recon # DM8550045 will mount directly to your gooseneck ball and works as a 5th wheel hitch,...

  • Will the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Void the Trailer Warranty
  • The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 will not void the warranty on either the tow vehicle or trailer. It sounds like you may have heard that using a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter will void your trailer's frame warranty and that can be true but only for the ones that attach to the pin box like the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G.
