- 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.

- Turning and backing with the Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Adapter, item # AM3100, will be the same as turning and backing with a gooseneck hitch in the bed of your truck. The ride quality of using a fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter usually is a bit worse than towing a gooseneck trailer with the same trailer weight and tongue weight. Usually fifth-wheel trailers will tow better and ride better with a fifth-wheel hitch due to the pin box configuration and fifth wheel hitch design....

- 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...

- 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.

- A gooseneck adapter that is designed for towing a fifth-wheel trailer, like the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter, # CAB-C5G, is normally used when a person already has a gooseneck trailer hitch installed in the truck and needs to tow both gooseneck and 5th wheel trailers.

- 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.

- The Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Adapter, item # CAB-C5G, can bolt to the fifth wheel plate. There is a collar that is secured to the king pin and then locked into the adapter, but to bolt it on you would then have to drill the king pin plate and install 4 bolts, 4 washers and 4 nylon lock nuts. This model though does not have to be bolted on.

This will give you the measurement needed to select an adapter.
