Can You Convert A 5th Wheel 2020 Northwind Into A Gooseneck.

Question:

Looking at a 2020 Northwood fox mountain 5th wheel, and towing it with a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 short bed. Can I set it up to tow with a goose neck system?

Yes, you can set up a gooseneck. You will need to get with the dealer and find the pin box serial numbers.

Some of the more common types are Lippert 1621/1621HD and Lippert 1116/1716. Depending on the Trailer Weight I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1621/1621HD # GY58GR or the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box - Lippert 1116/1716 # GY43FR.

These king pin replacements have no internal parts to replace, no air bags to adjust, an auto-latch when you are coupling and an easy disconnect cable to make it easier to uncouple the trailer when at location.

I also recommend the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit for Ford, GM, and Nissan Titan Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNXA2061. It is an easy in and out. Keeps your hands off the ball and away from grease and pinch points.
