The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 is compatible with the Curt Custom Underbed OEM-Style Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60700 for your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. You can essentially use these with the Lippert Turning Point pin box but you need to lock out the pin box so it acts like a standard pin box. You won't be able to utilize the rotating turret since it will be attached to your Super Duty at one point (the gooseneck hitch ball).

If you need to be using the rotating function of the Turning Point then I recommend installing the Reese Under-Bed Rail and Installation Kit # RP87FR along with the Reese M5 5th Wheel Hitch # RP30921. This gives you 4 points of contact and a high quality towing setup. The underbed system that gives you a clean bed when not towing and then the M5 features a single-piece, wraparound jaw for superior jaw-to-pin contact and a fully articulating head to ease hookup and limit chucking.

Should you go with the second option and you already have the Curt installed, you'll need to remove the Curt gooseneck hitch as it installs in the same place as the Reese Underbed kit.

Attached are some videos for you to check out.
