Ride Quality and Towing Safety with a Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Trailer Hitch 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....

Recommended Cost Effective 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Hitch Setup for a 2003 Ford F-250 Short Bed
If you're looking for a budget fifth wheel and gooseneck hitch setup for a 2003 Ford F-250 I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30051 which is one of the most effective dual jaw hitches. The dual jaws will provide a much smoother ride than a slide-bar. In regards to mounting, I'd recommend a custom kit which is going to be much easier to install and would not require drilling into the frame. The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit part # C16443-204 is a good option...

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...

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...

Fifth Wheel Adapter for 2011 Ford F 350 Towing Raptor Toyhauler
From a ride-quality standpoint, using a fifth wheel hitch to tow a fifth wheel trailer is always the preferred option. Since your truck already has a gooseneck hitch installed in it, there are other alternatives (see link). The Reese Goose Box is the best alternative, but because of its 16,000 lb capacity, it would not work for you. The next best option would be to use a Curt X5 Fifth Wheel Adapter, like part # 16310 which is compatible with B and W square shank standard center gooseneck...

Fifth Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter Availability
The easiest option would be the Convert a Ball adapter part # CAB-C5G as this can basically bolt to any standard style of pin box on a fifth wheel trailer and give you a gooseneck coupler like you'd need. This is the most universal option and works really well so it would be best option I can give you. Other options would require me to know more info. I'd need to know which gooseneck hitch you have installed in your truck and/or what pin box you have on your trailer as well. I attached...

Cushioned Gooseneck Adapter for 2019 Forest River Sierra 379URL and Offset Ram Hitch Ball
Your best option would be a cushioned fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter and then an offset ball for turning clearance for the best ride quality. So for the fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter you'd want the Reese Goose Box part # RP85FR which uses an air ride system to provide cushioning. Then for an offset gooseneck ball that fits your 2024 Ram 2500 with the OEM pucks you'd want the part # GY83XR.

Lightweight 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Long Bed
The best lightweight option we have to tow a fifth wheel trailer is the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 which will attach to a standard height gooseneck hitch ball, the Curt Pop-In Ball part # C60601. This is a great, secure option that would not require any adapters. If you wanted to use the Andersen Ultimate Connection 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch System with Adapter part # AM3200 you'd need the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter part # DM6206.

B&W Companion Fit for B&W Gooseneck Underbed Kit
The B&W Companion hitches that fit with the B&W Underbed Kit # BWGNRK1319-5W are the slider # BWRVK3400-5W and the fixed # BWRVK3500-5W. Normally we recommend using the sliding version for short bed trucks but there are times when the fixed Companion can be used for a short bed truck (like if the 5th wheel RV has a tapered nose). I recommend going with the slider just because it's better to be safe than sorry in my opinion, but it's ultimately up to you. There are other hitches that can...

Adapter to Allow Towing 5th Wheel Trailer with Gooseneck Hitch in 2004 Ford F-350
There are several types of adapters to allow towing a 5th wheel trailer with a truck that is equipped with a gooseneck hitch. These vary in the amount of stress they will place on the trailer frame and also in the ride quality they deliver. Some offer a permanent long-term solution while others are suitable for short-distance or one-time use to move a trailer to its new location. I suggest you start with a review of the article linked at right, which shows and explains the various types...

Demco Hijacker Fifth Wheel Hitch for 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 With Fifth Wheel Prep Package
There is a Demco Hijacker fifth wheel hitch that will work with your 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 with the fifth wheel prep package, but part # DM8550022 will NOT fit.

The adapter mounts into the puck system on your '19 Sierra 3500 and the Hijacker will mount on top of the adapter. The Hijacker is one of the best fifth wheel hitches available...

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...

Recommended Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Connection for my CM ER Truck Bed
The base on the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball part # DM8550046 is too wide to fit down into the trough you have on your Cm Truck Bed. It should make full contact at the base so it is not the best idea. Instead the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3050 is designed to fit into the 18" recessed area and will connect to the B&B Gooseneck that comes with your CM Truck Bed.

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...
