Dimensions of a Fifth-Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter
Question:
Hello, I am looking to buy a convert-a-ball for a fifth-wheel hitch. My concern is, I have a flatbed and the ball is in a small department, 8-inch x 12-inch hole. Do you know how big the hook-up to the ball is?

I went to the warehouse and measured the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter, # CAB-C5G, and it was eight inches across. This will be too tight of a fit, but there is a solution.
I recommend the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, # AM3100. This will work with standard 2-5/16-inch gooseneck hitch balls, with a capacity of 24,000 lbs GTW and 6,000 lbs TW. I have included a link to a video review of this product for you.
