If you have the Curt Double Lock or Curt Ezr then you can use the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter part # C16210 or part # C16220 along with a standard fifth the wheel hitch like the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # C16140.
If you have any other Curt Gooseneck Hitch then there isn't an adapter for this so your only option is something like the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045.
