Expert Answers about Chevrolet Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Adapters


  • Is There a 5TH Wheel Hitch Which Will Attach To Gooseneck Hitch Ball?
  • The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 will connect to your gooseneck hitch ball in your truck and allow you to tow a 5th wheel camper which uses a standard pin box. You will need to ensure your gooseneck ball is no more than 5" above your bed floor.

  • Adjustable Gooseneck To 5th Wheel King Pin Assembly
  • We don't have one that says anything that is compatible with a crank adjuster, but we do have the tube adapters you mentioned. If you have a round tube, I recommend the Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Adapter # BD0289640300 which has a 4 inch outer diameter or for the square tube the Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Adapter - Square, # KPG5-Q25-IP. This is 4 inches square outside measurement. If you are looking for a hitch that works in standard 5th wheel rails and works with a gooseneck...

  • Do You Have Adapters to Convert a Gooseneck Trailer to a Fifth Wheel
  • Yes, we have a couple different solutions that could solve your problem. Since you have a fifth wheel with rails already in your bed, I would suggest using a Gooseneck plate built for fifth wheel rails like Curt part # 16055. If you will be towing other fifth wheel trailers and need to keep your fifth wheel on the truck at all times and do not want to pull the fifth wheel on and off, we do have adapter tubes. If you have a round gooseneck coupler with a 4 inch outer diameter, you could...

  • Availability of 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter That Clamps to Gooseneck Hitch Ball
  • The Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter you mentioned, part # 16310 isn't designed to attach directly to a gooseneck ball. The square shank of the adapter is meant to fit into the square hole where the ball would install into a B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch. I've linked the instructions for you. If you currently have a B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck Hitch, the # 16310 adapter would work great for you. You'd release and remove the gooseneck ball and insert the shank of the adapter in its place,...

  • Best Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter for Truck that Has B and W Gooseneck Hitch
  • I wouldn't say that gooseneck to fifth wheel hitch adapters like the # CAB-C5G necessarily have a worse ride quality than if a fifth wheel hitch was used but there are advantages to just using a fifth wheel hitch when available like your scenario where we have a fifth wheel hitch that fits directly to your B and W rail kit. The adapters typically void the warranty of the trailer frame as they put additional stress on the pin box and if the truck was a short bed there wouldn't be a way...

  • Availability of Gooseneck to 5th Wheel Hitch Adapter for 2015 Big Tex 25DU Gooseneck Dump Trailer
  • If your truck has a fifth wheel hitch that uses industry standard rails (like those sold by Reese, Curt, Valley and Husky), the easiest way to tow the trailer would be to use a gooseneck ball that attaches to your bed mounted rails like the Curt # 16055. Big Tex tells me they used a Bulldog 4 inch square tube coupler on your trailer, so if your fifth wheel doesn't use industry standard rails, you'd need to remove the existing coupler and install the # BD0289650300 Bulldog Gooseneck to...

  • Fifth Wheel Adapter for a Draw Tite Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Hitch
  • I have a solution that could work well for you, but there isn't an adapter exactly like the # 16310 that would fit a Draw Tite turn over Hide-a-Goose. Instead I would recommend the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # 9480. This will fit in your gooseneck hitch easily and will provide you with a fifth wheel hitch. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • What is Best Fifth Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Hitch Coupler Adapter with Air Ride
  • The Reese GooseBox adapters are the best fifth wheel trailer to gooseneck coupler adapters out there which also have air ride built into them. For that we have the part # RP85FR which fits the Lippert 0719, 1621 and 1621HD as well as the Fabex PB-600 Series. You'd have to check the pin box plate on your trailer currently to determine which pin box you have now to pick out the Goosebox.

  • Availability of Air Ride Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter to Pull 5th Wheel with Gooseneck Hitch
  • Trail Air doesn't make such a product, but Reese manufactures an adapter that would let you tow a fifth wheel trailer using a gooseneck hitch. The Reese Goosebox would actually replace the existing pin box on the fifth wheel trailer, and features an air ride cushion for a comfortable ride. To determine if there's a compatible Goosebox model, you'll need to know the manufacturer and model number of the OEM pin box. This information should be printed on a sticker or plate located somewhere...

  • Availability of Adapter to Allow B&W Companion Hitch to Fit Round Gooseneck Ball Receptacle

There is no adapter product to convert that round gooseneck ball receptacle to a square one that can accept the B&W Companion 5th wheel # BWRVK3500 or the flatbed version # BWRVK3050.

  • The best option I have that would work for you would be to remove the existing square outer tube from your gooseneck trailer and replace it with part # BD0289590300 which includes the outer tube that would weld onto your gooseneck and the compatible inner tube that would act as the adapter.
