Will Gen-Y Cushioned Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Void Warranty of Trailer Frame

Question:

Does the Gen Y Gooseneck Hitch adaptor void my 5th wheel trailer warranty? I thought that it kept the stress points the same and did not increase the stress at these points.

The Gen-Y fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter part # GY36FR will not void the warranty of the trailer that you install it on. The types of adapters that do void the warranty are the ones that attach to the king pin like the # CAB-C5G.
