Expert Answers about Kenworth Gooseneck and Fifth Wheel Adapters


  • Can Pro Series Gooseneck Coupler # PS0287800300 Be Used on Gooseneck Hitch To Tow Fifth Wheel RV
  • The Pro Series Gooseneck Coupler, part # PS0287800300, that you have referenced is just a gooseneck coupler that would connect a gooseneck trailer to a gooseneck hitch in your vehicle. It is not the same as a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter. To tow a fifth wheel RV with your gooseneck hitch you will need to use a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter that will bolt onto to your fifth wheel RV trailer and allow you to connect to the gooseneck ball in your truck bed. We have a selection of...

  • 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 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...

  • Will Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Adapters Fit a Fifth Wheel Hitch on a Kenworth Over the Road Tractor
  • The most common size for a kingpin that fits a fifth wheel hitch is 2 inches in diameter. We have checked the kingpins on some of the truck trailers here on our lot and they measured 2 inches. I would recommend to measure the opening on your fifth wheel hitch with the jaw(s) closed to see if your Kenworth tractor will fit a 2 inch diameter kingpin. The gooseneck to fifth wheel adapters will come in either a square tube design or a round tube design. You will need to choose the adapter...

  • Will Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Adapter # KPG5-Q25-IP Fit Fifth Wheel Plate On A Mack Semi
  • The Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Adapter # KPG5-Q25-IP has a 2 inch industry standard kingpin. If your Mack semi fifth wheel plate accepts a 2 inch kingpin, then this adapter will work. This adapter is designed to fit the inner tube on most standard gooseneck square tubes. It has a 4 inch square outside diameter. I also have the Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Adapter # KPG5-R25-IP. It has a 2 inch kingpin and is designed to fit the inner tube on most standard gooseneck round tubes....

  • Adapters for Connecting a Fifth Wheel to a Gooseneck Hitch in a Truck Bed
  • The Draw-Tite Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter, part # 9480 will not fit the Reese Remov-A-Ball trailer hitch because the hole is a different size and will not accept the post that is used to attach the Hi-Rise adapter to the gooseneck hitch. It does fit the Reese Hide-A-Goose Trailer Hitch, part # 9460 and part # 9461. I do have cushioned fifth wheel-to-gooseneck adapters that will bolt onto your fifth wheel and couple to a gooseneck ball on your vehicle. You will...

  • To determine if the Ranch Hitch Fifth-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter with 8 Inch Offset, # AM3139, that you referenced will allow you to tow your fifth wheel trailer without hitting the back corner of your truck bed, you will need to know the distance between the center of the gooseneck ball to the back corner of your truck bed.

  • Can I Install Custom 5th Wheel Rails on 2011 Chevrolet Silverado with B&W Gooseneck Hitch
  • If you currently have a Reese fifth wheel hitch that fits industry standard rails I recommend taking a look at the Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter for B and W Square Shank Turnover Ball Hitches, # 16310. This adapter was designed for use with the B&W hitch and unlike most gooseneck to fifth wheel adapters, this will still allow you to tow your fifth wheel trailer with a fifth wheel hitch. Another option, especially if you do not currently own a fifth wheel hitch, is to go with the B&W Companion,...

  • Can Gooseneck Hitch And Fifth Wheel Adapter Work For 1995 Ford F-350 Flat Bed Truck
  • You are going to want to take a couple of measurements to see if the gooseneck can be installed on your 1995 Ford F-350 flat bed, since there are no specific gooseneck hitches designed for flat beds. If you measure from the top of your frame to the top of your flat bed, you can determine if a fifth wheel adapter will work with a gooseneck hitch. For the fifth wheel adapter to work with your goseneck it will need to extend up far enough for the fifth wheel to safely attach and function....

  • You can use the Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Cushioned Trailer Adapter, part # CAB-C5G, to adapt the gooseneck ball on your vehicle to a fifth wheel pin on your trailer. Make sure to find the correct size by backing the vehicle under the trailer and measuring from the top of the ball on the truck to the base of the pin box on the trailer. They are available in 12-inch, 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. If you have decided to use a fifth wheel all the time, you might consider simply replacing your...

  • Can a Gooseneck and 5th Wheel Hitch be Installed on a 2005 Ford F-250
  • There are options for towing a fifth-wheel trailer and a gooseneck trailer with the same vehicle. In your case, since you already have a gooseneck plate welded in the bed of your truck, you could use a fifth-wheel to gooseneck hitch adapter to tow the fifth-wheel trailer. If you have an 8 foot bed, I would recommend the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter, # CAB-C5G, and if you have a 6-1/2 foot bed the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset,...

It has 10 inches of slider travel to give you clearance between your truck and the trailer. This fifth-wheel trailer hitch will not fit trucks with beds shorter than 6 feet.

  • Gooseneck Hitch Needed for a Reese Signature Series Under Bed Rail Kit
  • To install a gooseneck ball in the bed of your truck with a Reese Signature Series fifth-wheel hitch system, you will need to use the Reese Elite Series Above-Bed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, item # RP30845. The Reese Signature Series fifth-wheel hitch system uses a puck style attachment in the bed of the truck that is not compatible with the Curt Spyder Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Fifth Wheel Rails, item # 16085. This fifth-wheel to gooseneck adapter is designed to install into standard fifth...

  • Can Sidewinder Be Used With Gooseneck Adapter
  • If there is a gooseneck hitch in the bed of the truck then you would need a 5th wheel trailer to gooseneck hitch adpater. Using an adapter would mean that you cannot also use a Sidewinder, like part # RP34FR. It would create too much stress on the truck and the trailer. I would recommend the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection, part # AM3225. Using this adapter would give you approximately 5-1/4 inches of offset toward the rear of the truck for your fifth wheel. It has an aluminum adapter...

  • Will Draw-Tite 3900 Fifth Wheel Hitch Work With Curt X5 Gooseneck To Fifth-Wheel Adapter Plate
  • The Curt X5 adapters are designed to fit specific gooseneck hitches. If you have a B&W Turnoverball gooseneck the X5 adapter that can be used is part # 16310. If you have the Curt Double Lock gooseneck then the X5 you need is part # C16210. If you have the Curt EZR gooseneck system in your truck the adapter is part # C16220. If you have any of the mentioned gooseneck systems, you can install your Draw-Tite 3900 fifth wheel hitch because the X5 systems do give you industry standard rails...

  • Fifth Wheel Adapter for Gooseneck to Provide Fifth Wheel Base Rails
  • The 5th wheel adapter will depend on the manufacturer of your gooseneck trailer hitch. The adapter you referenced, the Curt X-5 # C16210, is compatible with the Curt Double-Lock, Flip and Store gooseneck hitch. The Curt X-5 # 16310 works with B & W standard square center turnover ball gooseneck hitches. These two are the only adapters we carry that provide your truck bed with standard rails to install a 5th wheel hitch.

  • Adapter to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer With Gooseneck Hitch
  • There are definitely adapters that will allow you to tow a fifth wheel trailer with your gooseneck hitch, but the B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 requires the Turnoverball gooseneck hitch, which it mounts to. You could install that and use the Companion but the Turnoverball is specific to year, make, model (and sometimes bed length) of truck. For a fifth wheel trailer to gooseneck hitch adapter I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G or # CAB-C5GX1216...

  • Need Gooseneck To Fifth Wheel Adapter For 2004 Ford F-250 SD With Square Shank Gooseneck Hitch
  • If the gooseneck hitch on your 2004 Ford F-250 SuperDuty has a square shank, flip over hitch it should be a B and W brand gooseneck hitch. I spoke with my contact at Cequent and he said they have never offered a square shank gooseneck hitch. You might want to check underneath your truck bed, on the sideplates of the gooseneck hitch, or on the hitch itself, if there is a sticker that will show the brand of hitch. The Draw-Tite Hi-Rise Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # 9480,...

  • To determine if the Convert-A-Ball Gooseneck Coupler Adapter, # CAB-C5GX1216, will work with your 2011 Ford F-250 and your 2008 Flagstaff Fifth Wheel Trailer, you will need to measure from the top of your gooseneck ball to the bottom of the pin box. This will tell you what height adapter you will need. The Convert-A-Ball adapter is adjustable from 12 to 16 inches.
