I am not aware of any issues using the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3500 on a 5th wheel trailer with an aluminum superstructure. However, the ultimate say so would be up to the trailer manufacturer. With that being said there would be no additional stress on the trailer using the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter so I don't see why it would not work for you. It would be the same as using a 5th wheel hitch that mounts using industry standard rails like the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # BWRVK3255.
In regards to the MORryde Pin Box, B&W has stated in the past they can be used with the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter so there should be no issues in this regards either.
