Video Transcript for Andersen Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Adapters AM3109 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at part number AM3109. These are the safety chains for a Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapters. Safety chains are going to be a necessary precaution when you are towing. They're going to attach to your Ranch Hitch Coupler Adapter when installed on a 5th-Wheel trailer. They're going to work with both the straight and offset models. It's going to include everything you see on the table, so you're going to get the safety chain, and the mounting brackets, the hooks, all the necessary hardware for a complete installation. The product's made in the U.S.A.
The chain and the hooks are going to be made from a steel construction. They're going to have a nice chromate finish to resist rust and corrosion. It's going to be a Grade 70 chain that has a link diameter of 5/16 of an inch. They're going to have the forged steel hooks. These have the nice safety latch design to it, so it's going to prevent accidental disconnecting. When I took a measurement from the center of the bolt, I stretched the chain out from the center of the bolt to the center of the hook area.
That gave us a measurement of about 36 inches long, that's going to be the same on either side. These chains have been tested, and they meet the standards for up to 18,000 pounds when it comes to the capacity. The setup, simply clamps around the Ranch Hitch Coupler, and it's going to provide two chains that have the hooks at the ends. That simply attaches to the safety chain loops in the bed of your truck. To show you, on each side we're going to have the same components. You're going to have your chain, you're going to have your bolt, lock nut, and then your spacers.
You need to make sure that it goes through the link, the spacer goes on each side of that link in the chain, and then you tighten the lock nut all the way down. You're adapter portion is going to fit right inside that clamp. Very simple installation, and it's ready to go right out of the box. That's going to do it for today's review of part number AM3109. This is the safety chain kit for the Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter from Andersen. .

Safety chains are a necessary precaution when you are towing. These attach to your Ranch Hitch coupler adapter when installed on a fifth wheel trailer.by: Jordon10/04/2022
The collar is slightly loose after I tightened the bolts all the way. The spacers need a 1/16 of an inch shaved off on all of them then it would be tight. I will grind a little off two of the spacers and that should do the trick. That being said, these are a great product for the price and complement the ranch hand 8" offset hitch that I installed. Glad I purchased this!

I have purchased multiple items from etrailer.com and have always been happy with the pricing, shipping and the products purchased. Also, the available feedback discussions with the team and video's are of a great help. Thanks again!! Don

Safety chains that adapt to what I needed to satisfy DOT
by: Lindsi11/01/2023
product was as expected however, the boxes were not in the best of shape. One was for a work order and the other was for stock. Product good! Box, not so nice.
by: Paul 05/20/2023
These are heavy duty safety chains and coupler and mounted up with ease. Look great and it is nice to have that extra comfort of safety. Super fast shipping.
Thanks!!!
by: Paul06/14/2018
I am using this on my 5th wheel gooseneck adapter. Then I had to buy D rings to hook it up to my truck. For SAFETY I would have thought that the chains would have come with the gooseneck adapter.

by: Fred S.06/25/2013
There seems to be some question on the legal requirement for safety chains on a gooseneck adapted 5th wheel. However, I decided there was no question when it comes to safety. These chains were exactly what I needed and e-trailer's response time was exceptional.

Safety chains are something you hope you never need, but provide a level of comfort knowing you have them, just in case. Ive never questioned the wisdom of installing these chains and am quite happy with them.
by: JMR - Texas08/08/2016
Received complete order including the safety chain in record time.
Only catch I did not see coming was my goose neck framing will not work on the clap style fitting.................ops but will use this in a different fashion and its all good.
etrailer is spot on!!

I just wanted to say that I looked at our receipts to see what it was that we bought from you. Yes those chains worked great and I left them on the goose neck of the RV for whoever buys it.
by: Tom 04/08/2023
Easy installation, was as described
by: Larry L09/08/2020
If anyone is looking for a set of safety chains for a goose neck trailer I would highly recommend these, very heavy duty and looks like they will last forever very well made and are heavy duty. This company that I purchased this item from as far as I'm concerned is a great company, I just ordered a under the bed B/W 30,000 lb hitch and needed safety chains to go with the Rancher adapter kit I have. These ladies that I worked with in getting this thing put together are awesome and very knowledgeable. Will order form them again, excellent company to deal with, Highly recommended.

Product is great
by: Dillon08/29/2022
Great quality. Easy installation. One thing to note, if I remember correctly,(mine was installed several mo the ago) the directions and packing list both indicate a pin was sent. The collar has two stub ends that take place of said pin. Still a great design. Just worth mentioning.
by: Homer S.04/09/2012
Thanks for the fast service. Items are just like described.
by: George W12/22/2011
Very well made. A must for those living in states that require safety chains and for peace of mind any where you go. Very easy installation with just two wrenches needed. I installed these chains on a Ranch Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter.
by: Dean K04/08/2011
Ordered with Ranch Hitch Adapter; simple to install and a great added measure of security/safety. Very heavy duty parts throughout, no corners cut on design or manufacturing. Chains are HD as well and are long enough to hang on back of fifth wheel hitch housing to keep them out of the way when not in use.
by: Leslie05/25/2022
Never used it. It did not fit on my gooseneck adapter

This works with Ranch Hitch 5th-wheel-to-gooseneck coupler adapters both the straight and offset models.
by: Charles W12/16/2010
Gooseneck safety chain setI was very pleased with the service offered by etrailer. Their e-catalogue give me all the information I needed to make a decision about the product I was looking for. I received the safety chain set very quickly. I was amazed at the quality. This set is made specifically for my hitch so I'm not concerned about fit. The finish was excellent. I would like to see etrailer carry the ubolt set that these chains hook to which is installed in the bed of the truck. Not all hitches come with the ubolt set.
Well done etrailer.

- Are Safety Chains Required By DOTAlthough the laws regarding towing safety can vary from state to state, using safety chains is a practice I would consider mandatory.
view full answer... - Adding a Cushioned Pin Box To a 2003 Jayco Quest With Ability To Pull With Gooseneck HitchAs I can not say for certain why there is not a Reese Goose Box that fits the Leland 7920 on your 2003 Jayco Quest, it is most likely due to no one making 5th wheel campers with a Leland 7920 pin box anymore. Since Lippert has taken over the majority of production of 5th wheel trailer frames you do not see as much variety of pin boxes as there used to be. The only way to get a cushioned pin box that works with a goose neck mount would be to switch your pin box with a MORryde Cushioned...
view full answer... - Will Using the Ranch Hitch Adapter Allow a Truck to Still Tow Regular Gooseneck TrailersThe Ranch Hitch # AM3100 secures to a 5th wheel trailer king pin and will allow you to tow a 5th wheel trailer with a gooseneck trailer hitch. So if all you have is a gooseneck trailer hitch and you wanted to pull a 5th wheel trailer, you would use this adapter. I also recommend safety chains # AM3109. Using the adapter does not modify the gooseneck hitch in the truck at all so you will be able to still tow gooseneck trailers as well. I have included a link to our FAQ article showing...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Trailer Adapter to Tow the Trailer with a Gooseneck Hitch in a 2014 Ram Short BedWe don't carry a Reese adapter in that style but I do have a solution for you. Since your 2014 Ram is a short bed I suggest the Andersen # AM3139 adapter because it has an offset. The offset will help with clearance when executing sharp turns. If you also need the safety chains to work with the adapter use # AM3109.
view full answer... - Installation Instructions for Anderson Fifth-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100The Anderson Fifth-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, part # AM3100, installs in about an hour on standard fixed 5th wheel pin boxes to adapt them for towing with a gooseneck hitch. Anderson does not recommend it for use with a cushioned pin box. This adapter fits a standard 2-5/16-inch gooseneck ball and is rated for up to 24,000 lbs GVWR and up to 6,000 lbs tongue weight. It provide a vertical adjustment range of 3 inches (from 11-3/4-inches to 14-3/4 inches height) and is fitted with...
view full answer... - Could Safety Chains for Ranch Hitch Coupler Adapter item # AM3109 Fit GooseneckAs long as the outer diameter of the gooseneck hitch tube you have is 4-1/2 inches the # AM3109 would fit as that's the size it was designed to fit.
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter for a 2008 Dodge Ram and 2008 Keystone CougarWhat you are looking for is a 5th wheel trailer to gooseneck hitch adapter. We have several models and to determine what height you will need you will need to take one measurement. Back the truck up as if you where going to hitch up to the trailer. Make sure both truck and trailer are on level ground. Measure from the top of the gooseneck ball to the bottom of the trailer pin box to determine the height of the adpater you will need. If your 2008 Dodge Ram has a short bed, I recommend using...
view full answer... - Safety Chain Recommendation for Use with Ranch Hitch # AM3139The Safety Chains for Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, # AM3109 that you referenced were designed for the same capacities as the Ranch Hitch, # AM3139 that you have installed on your trailer. As long as you aren't exceeding the capacity for the # AM3139 the safety chains, if needed, would have enough capacity for you. If you are referring to the safety chains that are on a gooseneck trailer, then yes those too have enough capacity.
view full answer... - Is the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection # AM3225 Easy to Install and Use on 2004 Ford F-350Yes, the Andersen Ranch Hitch # AM3100 will work with the gooseneck ball/hitch already installed in your 2004 Ford F-350. The Anderson adapter clamps to any 2-5/16 inch gooseneck ball no matter what brand it is. I have linked a video review for you. Safety chains are not included but Andersen recommends adding kit # AM3109 to use safety cables with the adapter. It is an easy system to install and use. I would say, though, that eventually using a 5th wheel hitch will be the way to go....
view full answer... - Is The Andersen Ranch Hitch Adapter Compatible With Factory Gooseneck Hitch Ball On a 2018 Ram 3500?Yes, the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100 can be used with a factory installed Gooseneck Ball # C60618 on your 2018 Ram 3500. Do remember you will also need the Safety Chains # AM3109 as you are switching to a hitch ball connection. I recommend using the Slide Hammer # AM3103 to aid in the installation of the coupler. It will make is easier to seat the inner threaded collar on the king pin.
view full answer... - Adapter To Pull a 5th Wheel Trailer With a Truck's Gooseneck Hitch BallThe Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100 is our most economical adapter which will allow you to connect a 5th wheel pin box to a gooseneck hitch ball. This is rated for trailers up to 24,000lbs with up to a 6,000lb tongue weight. You will also need Safety Chains # AM3109 since this is ball connection.

Sometimes the U-bolts lay flat on the truck bed on each side of the gooseneck ball and are spring loaded, so you might not see them. You have to pull the U-bolts up from the bed to attach the chain. If you do not have the U-bolts on your...
view full answer... - Fifth Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter Recommendation for Dodge Ram 3500 Short BedFor a 5th wheel trailer to gooseneck hitch adapter with an offset, I recommend the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter with 8 inch Offset, # AM3139. This adapter can be bolted onto the trailer pin box and you can leave it installed so you do not have to remove it and re-install it every time. The hitch is meant to be bolted into place. The Ranch Hitch adapter is designed for trailers with a standard or extended pin box up to 24 inches long (measured diagonally)....

Additionally, you may also need a set of safety chains # AM3109 since you are changing to a gooseneck connection for your trailer.

Checkout the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter, part # AM3100. You will also need to use safety chains, part # AM3109. You will need to measure to determine the correct adapter you will need for your towing setup. Begin by having your truck and trailer on level ground. Back your truck into position as if you were...
view full answer... - Converting a Fifth Wheel Trailer to Be Used with a Gooseneck Hitch In a Shortbed Ford F-250 TruckThe best way to convert a fifth wheel trailer to the gooseneck hitch setup in your short bed Ford F-250 is to use the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter w/8 inch Offset for Short-Bed Trucks, item # AM3139. This is a semi permanent installation that works very well. If your truck has a bed shorter than 6 feet, you will need to measure to be sure that you will have enough clearance for maneuvering and pitch and roll of the trailer before deciding to order the adapter....
view full answer... - How Long Should Safety Chains be for Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck AdapterConvert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G comes with safety chains that will be compatible with the safety chain loops in Curt kit # C60618. Another option is to use # AM3109 which is for a similar adapter from Andersen. Since in either case the chains are attached to the adapter they do not have to be very long at all; about 36 inches or so. The chains need to be rated at or above what the adapter is rated for.
view full answer... - Will Ranch Hitch Adapter AM3100 Work on 5th-Wheel TrailerThe fifth-wheel to gooseneck adapter # AM3100 is designed for the industry standard 2 inch king pin. To see if it is a fit, you will want to take some measurements on your 5th wheel trailer. 1. Pull the truck into position as if you were hooking up to the trailer, making sure that the truck and trailer are level. 2. Measure from the pin box to the top of the ball in the bed of your truck. 3. The measurement should fall between 11-3/4 inches and 14-3/4, which are the retracted and extended...

- Gooseneck to 5th Wheel or 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Options for a Lifted TruckWith a lifted truck, it will be a tight fit, but I may have a couple of options for you. First, take a look at the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter, # 9480. This will fit a B and W Turnover style gooseneck hitch. The hitch height is adjustable from 14-1/4 inches to 18 inches. You will need to measure from the bottom of the pin box (not the king pin) to the top of the bed to determine if this height is too much or not enough. Another option is a 5th wheel to gooseneck...
view full answer... - How Much Clearance is Needed Around a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Ball for ToolboxesThe amount of clearance you will need around the gooseneck ball is going to depend on the trailer coupled to it. If you were using the Ranch Hitch adapter # AM3100 to tow a 5th wheel trailer using the gooseneck hitch then at the widest point, where it attaches to the ball, is 5-1/2 inches. So you would need more than 5-1/2 inches all the way around (measured from the center of the ball) if using this adapter. I would say if you had 6-1/2 inches all the way around that would allow for enough...
view full answer... - Will Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter, # 9480 Fit a Popup Brand Gooseneck HitchThe Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter, # 9480, is designed to work with Draw-Tite, Bulldog or BandW gooseneck hitches. It has not been tested with a Popup hitch so I cannot say if it is a fit or not. Another option is to use a 5th wheel trailer to gooseneck hitch adapter on the trailer. I recommend the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, # AM3100, and safety chains # AM3109. This adapter has a pin weight capacity of 6,000 pounds and a gross...
view full answer... - 5th Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a Truck with an Aluma Trick BedFirst, the Curt X-5, # C16210, is designed to work with Curt Double-Lock, Flip and Store gooseneck hitches. If you have a different hitch it will not fit. Most of the force will be on the hitch but there will be some pressure on the bed as well and aluminum is more likely to deform so I do not recommend a 5th wheel adapter like this for your truck and new bed. Instead, I recommend using an adpater that attaches to the trailer pin box and fits around the gooseneck ball in the truck which...

You can always add components like the Safety Chains for Ranch Hitch 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3109 and the Blaylock EZ Lock for Set Screw on Gooseneck Coupler - Aluminum # BLTL-51-40D.
