Question:
Our goose neck is a hide-a-ball. Can we use the conversion kit with it to tow a fifth wheel?

The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 will allow any 5th wheel trailer (that is not equipped with a Sidewinder, Revolution or Air-Ride pin box) to be pulled by a tow vehicle equipped with a goose neck hitch. This adapter works fine with a Draw-Tite Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Hitch Ball like # 19309.
The linked article covers all of the various types of adapters available for towing a 5th wheel with a gooseneck hitch. One of these adapter types, the Reese Goosebox such as # RP94720, entirely replaces your 5th wheel pin box and gives you the advantage of adding no additional stress to the trailer's frame which can occur with use of other types of adapters. The linked article will give you more information about your options.
