  • Can An Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball Be Used With An Extended 5th Wheel To Gooseneck Adapter
  • It sounds to me like you have a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter like the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter part # AM3100 already installed on your 5th wheel trailer. To answer your question, yes, a 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter is compatible with an offset gooseneck hitch ball. It is important to not that an offset gooseneck adapter, such as part # AM3139, should not be used with an offset gooseneck ball. However, as gooseneck hitch balls are specific to the...

  • Will Reese Gooseneck Hitch Ball with 5 Inch Offset Fit Curt Gooseneck Hitch
  • We have some options for you to have an offset for your gooseneck, but the Reese Gooseneck Hitch Ball with 5 Inch Offset # 19308 will not work with the Curt gooseneck hitch in your 2015 GMC Sierra 3500. The # 19308 is designed to work with Reese Hide-A-Goose gooseneck hitch heads. The only Curt offset gooseneck hitch ball we offer is the Curt 4 Inch Offset Ball for Double-Lock Gooseneck Hitch # C602. This hitch ball is designed for use with Curt's Double-Lock gooseneck hitches. If you...

  • Will A Curt Offset Gooseneck Ball Fit Into A B&W Gooseneck Hitch
  • I called my contact at Curt Manufacturing and they confirmed that the Curt 4" Offset Ball for Double-Lock Gooseneck Hitch part # C602 will not fit into the gooseneck ball location on a B&W gooseneck hitch such as the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1012. This is due to the fact that the Curt ball mounts for gooseneck hitches are circular in shape whereas the ball mounts for B&W gooseneck hitches are square. In order to gain a 4" offset with the B&W gooseneck...

  • Will the B and W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch Fit a Curt Gooseneck Hitch
  • We have fifth wheel adapter options for Curt gooseneck hitches, but adapters like the Companion or the Hi-Rise will not work with Curt gooseneck hitches. The B and W Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch is only compatible with B and W gooseneck hitches, so it will not work with a Curt gooseneck hitch. Turnoverball is actually a trademark of B and W, but Curt does have the Folding Ball Gooseneck Hitch, # C-52. If this is the hitch you have, then I recommend using a fifth-wheel-to-gooseneck adapter...

  • What is Considered a Pop-In Gooseneck Hitch Ball
  • A pop-in gooseneck hitch ball is something like the Pop-In Ball for Reese Elite Series Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # RP19315 which you turn and lock into place in your hitch. This is opposed to a ball such as the Remov-a-Ball Gooseneck Hitch Ball # 5973 which is held in place in the hitch with a pin. Gooseneck hitches with a pop-in ball should not be used with the Convert-A-Ball Multi-Cushioned Gooseneck Trailer Coupler # CG.

  • Will the Curt X-5 Gooseneck Adapter and Curt Gooseneck Hitch Work with Reese 14K 5th Wheel Hitch
  • Yes, your Reese 14K fifth wheel hitch will work with the Curt X-5 gooseneck adapter and a Curt gooseneck hitch. If you still need to pickup the X-5 adapter, you will want to make sure you choose the adapter that is compatible with your hitch. Curt makes a 3 different adapters. If you have the newer Curt EZr Double-Lock gooseneck hitch, then you will want part # C16220. If you have the original Double-Lock or the Flip and Store gooseneck hitch, then you will want part # C16210.

  • Is the Curt Hitch Ball # C40085 Compatible with a Gooseneck Hitch
  • The Curt Hitch Ball # C40085 that you referenced is meant to fit a trailer hitch receiver ball mount. Due to its design it is not compatible with a gooseneck hitch. We do have some gooseneck hitch ball options like the Hide-A-Goose Gooseneck Hitch Ball # 19309, the Replacement Hitch Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches # BWGNXA2006, and the Curt Pop-In Ball # C60601. These are specific to certain gooseneck hitches though so you will need to make sure that you choose the correct...

  • How Deep Does The Hitch Ball Need To Be To Use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Adapter
  • In order for the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550046 to work, the distance from the top of the gooseneck hitch ball to the bed floor must be no more than 3/4". If the distance from the top of the gooseneck hitch ball to the bed floor is more than 3/4" then the coupler will not attach which seems to be the issue you are having. If there is a taller gooseneck hitch ball available for your gooseneck hitch (please confirm the model number of gooseneck hitch)...

  • Gooseneck Hitch Adapter for 5th Wheel Trailer Connection on 2017 Ram 3500 Short Bed
  • The B&W Companion Slider Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3400 is only compatible with the B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitches. If you have a different gooseneck hitch, then there are other potential options. For instance, the Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for Curt Double Lock Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # C16210 will work on that gooseneck to give you rails so you can add a sliding hitch. Curt also has an adapter option for their EZr double lock...

  • Will Curt Gooseneck For 2019 Ram 2500 Allow Use of Andersen 5th Wheel Hitch - Gooseneck Mount
  • The Andersen 5th wheel hitch that mounts to a gooseneck hitch just requires a standard gooseneck hitch, and will work with the underbed Curt gooseneck hitch that fits your 2019 Ram 2500, which is the following: - Curt Custom Underbed OEM-Style Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # C60633 The Curt gooseneck will fit in either the 6-1/2 foot or 8 foot bed and I've added a link below to a video install of this hitch on a '19 Ram 2500 for you to take a look at as well.

  • What Gooseneck Hitches Will Work With Draw-Tite Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Hitch, # 9480
  • The Draw-Tite Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Hitch, # 9480, works with the following gooseneck hitches: BandW Turnover Ball Hide-A-Goose by Draw-Tite or Reese Under-Bed by Bulldog. I also have the Fifth Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapters which will mount to a fifth wheel trailer and allow you to couple your fifth wheel to a gooseneck hitch. The adapters come in different sizes depending on your tow vehicle and size of trailer. I am sending a link to the page of Fifth Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler...

  • Is There an Offset Gooseneck Hitch Ball that Will Fit a 2016 Ram 3500 with Factory Hitch
  • I do have gooseneck hitch balls that will work with the factory installed gooseneck hitch in your 2016 Ram 3500 but none of them are offset. Instead, I recommend using a offset gooseneck coupler like the B&W Extend-A-Goose Gooseneck Coupler part # BWTEXA4200. This coupler will fit most gooseneck trailers with a 4" diameter outer tube and will provide you with a 10" offset. You can then install a standard gooseneck hitch ball into your Ram like the B&W Ball and Safety Chain Kit part # BWGNXA2062. I...

  • Which Gooseneck Hitch Do I need to Tow Gooseneck Trailer With 2003 Ford F-150
  • There are gooseneck hitches that fit the 2003 Ford F-150 but the Draw-Tite hitch part # 8339 is not a fit. The Draw-Tite Gooseneck hitch is designed for newer F-150 trucks. I recommend Curt's Folding Gooseneck hitch part # C61652-637 for the 2003 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2 foot or 8 foot bed. The Curt Under Bed Folding Gooseneck Hitch comes with the rails that are custom fit for the 2003 Ford F-150 so there is not any drilling required for installation. The Curt Gooseneck ball folds downs...

  • Yes, there is indeed a gooseneck hitch that will install directly into the 5th wheel rails in your truck bed. You can choose from a hitch with a capacity of either 25,000 lbs or 30,000 lbs, and they are the following part numbers: - 25,000 lb Capacity: Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # 16085 - 30,000 lb Capacity: Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails # C35HR The Spyder gooseneck hitch will act exactly the same as a standard gooseneck ball...

  • Can 3 Inch Gooseneck Hitch Ball be Installed on Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
  • The only gooseneck hitch ball size that fits the Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # 6300 is the 2-5/16" Diameter Hitch Ball # 5973. If you don't already have a gooseneck hitch just let me know the year/make/model of your pickup and I can make a recommendation for a gooseneck hitch setup that is compatible with the larger 3" diameter hitch ball size.

  • Is Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Compatible with Spinning Hitch Ball
  • Yes, the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball # DM8550046 is compatible with a gooseneck hitch ball that can spin. It basically clamps to the hitch ball and then pulls up to put pressure on the hitch ball which keeps it from spinning. I have attached a photo from the linked instructions that goes over this. Please note that the part you mentioned is for a recessed gooseneck hitch ball. If you have a standard gooseneck hitch ball (that doesn't sit recessed...

  • Does Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Adapter # 9480 Fit a Pop Up Flip-Over Gooseneck Hitch
  • Flip-over gooseneck hitches appear to be made by Pop Up. I can only confirm that the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # 9480 fits B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck hitches, Hide-A-Goose by Draw-Tite or Reese hitches, or Under-Bed by Bulldog hitches. But not Flip-over hitches. The other option is to use a 5th wheel trailer to gooseneck hitch adapter such as # CAB-C5G. It attaches to the trailer king pin and has a gooseneck coupler on the other end to couple to a 2-5/16 inch...

  • Is The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter Compatible With A B&W Gooseneck
  • As long as the B&W gooseneck hitch is compatible with a 2-5/16" hitch ball, then yes, the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G will work for you. To secure this adapter, I recommend using the Master Lock Covered Solid Body Padlocks part # 141T. If you do not already have a 2-5/16" hitch ball on your B&W gooseneck trailer, I recommend using the Replacement Hitch Ball for B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Hitch part # BWGNXA2006.

  • Will the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch For Ram Fit a 2002 Ford F-350
  • The correct B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Ram 2500 is part # BWGNRK1384 and the correct B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for a 2002 Ford F-350 is part # BWGNRK1108. As you can see, these two gooseneck hitches are very different so no they will not work with one another which can be said for pretty much any gooseneck hitch as they are not universal and are designed for specific models.
