Fifth-Wheel Towing with Your Gooseneck Hitch
There are a variety of adapters on the market that let you tow a fifth-wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch. You can use a coupler adapter that replaces the pin box on your fifth-wheel trailer and then attaches to the gooseneck hitch in your truck bed. But these adapters often require modifications to your trailer that can void the warranty. Another option would be using fifth-wheel rails that mount directly to your gooseneck hitch, usually by dropping into the hitch's ball hole. But to do this you have to make 2 separate purchases - the adapter plate that has the rails and a standard fifth-wheel hitch.With the Demco Recon, you get a heavy-duty fifth-wheel trailer hitch that mounts in your truck bed by connecting directly to your gooseneck hitch with the included components. No modifications are required to your truck or trailer. And no additional parts are required for the system to work.
Secure Wraparound Jaw with Locking Bar
The single-piece, strong wraparound jaw completely surrounds your trailer's king pin for 360 degrees of contact. This wraparound jaw provides a more secure connection than standard 2-piece jaws that close in on the king pin from the sides. The increased jaw-to-king-pin contact on the Recon hitch offers tighter tolerances around the king pin, which minimizes both rattle and chucking, for a smooth, quiet ride.
A 3/4" thick solid steel locking bar spans the area in front of the jaw. This bar provides an added barrier of protection against accidental disconnection so you can have peace of mind that your trailer is secure. The locking bar is attached to the jaw and to the spring-loaded handle. The bar automatically locks when the jaw closes around your king pin.
Double-Pivot, Cushioned Hitch Head
The double pivoting, cushioned head improves your towing experience dramatically by helping to reduce jarring and unwanted noise. Built-in pins allow the hitch head to pivot back and forth and side to side. And hookup is easy because the hitch head will automatically pivot to the proper angle when it comes into contact with your pin box.
Polyurethane dampeners help to cushion the movement from the pivoting head and to reduce towing noise. These dampeners are built into the head assembly to cushion the head's side-to-side pivoting.
Easy Installation
This hitch is designed to attach to the 2-5/16" ball on your gooseneck hitch.
Assembling the hitch is quick and easy because of its lightweight, 2-piece design. First, attach the base to your gooseneck ball. A coupler pin is installed underneath the ball and the coupler is tightened to keep the Recon secure. Then simply slide the head assembly into the opening in the base. There are 3 different height settings to choose from - just slide the head up or down to find your desired height.
Once you have chosen your desired height, use the included pin to secure the head to the base. Finally, tighten the bolt to eliminate any movement and rattle.

The assembly seems very stout and sturdy overall. Was able to put the unit together in truck bed quite easily. will know more in upcoming weekend when fifth wheel trailer gets pulled home
by: Clarence03/27/2024
I was a bit disappointed because when I installed the hitch per instructions, it still allowed a movement on the hitch. The hitch would actually move 1-2 inches when I would brake or accelerate the vehicle while towing.
I researched and found that it was a common issue and some people were advised by etrailer technical support to torque the attachment bolts tighter. I did this as well, but with the same results. So as a result I don't pull the fifth wheel very far and am look for a solution to the issue.

Thank you for reaching out! I am happy to look into this for you. Can you tell me more about how it is moving, like is it the base that is moving? Would you be able to send a picture?
by: Randy07/13/2021
Working great after a year. Have pulled two different 5th wheels - both over 38'. Still some slight chucking, but nothing like my old hitch. Love the security of the slider bar and the 360 degree contact. I usually leave it in the truck, but will split it into two pieces when I need the full bed.

It worked fine while I had it, but upgraded to a Goose Box. The hitch was simple to use, but still rough with a rigid pin box. Also wanted to use the space in my truck bed without having to remove the hitch.
by: William 01/27/2020
I wish I had known in advance that the hitch was coming in 2 parcels and that they wouldn't arrive together, but the hitch itself is great! Assembly is simple and I can quickly disassemble into 3 pieces for easy storage in a bay. Although it states that the top plate is 15 1/2" above bed, it is actually 16 1/2" at the lowest setting and I ended up adjusting my pin box to compensate so everything rides level. All things to be expected. It is much easier than hitching up to a gooseneck, especially since my tool box blocks the view of the hitch. It rides smooth with no discernible bucking on the road. I highly recommend this hitch and especially the people that I bought it from. etrailer has been great to deal with. Pics will follow when the weather clears.

Ive owned it and used it for a year now and still highly recommend it to anyone with a Gooseneck hitch in their rig. Id add some pics showing how level everything sits, but not sure how to do that now.

The hitch is easy to ensemble.
Great design. Pulled my trailer great!
But when I hooked up the second time to the trailer the roll pin that goes in the locking bar fell out. Wasn't a really big deal. But if I hadn't had any tools and a 1/4" bolt with a lock nut I probably won't have been able to hook up. Maybe they could change that. The best adapter from gooseneck to fifth wheel.But all in all very happy with it.

This product is far superior than the rest of the other adapters. It mounts on the gooseneck easy and even if I didnt have a gooseneck trailer or gooseneck hitch on my truck this product is better than any other fifth wheel than that Ive had in the past. Plus it gives me the best of both ways to haul any trailer.??
by: Henry08/06/2020
I just received my Demco Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter today. Installed it, hooked up to my first 5th wheel camper I just purchased, and pulled it home from about an hour away. Installation, hook up, and pulling was very easy and I am very pleased with the hitch. My rig is a 2007 GMC 2500 HD pulling a 2007 Sunnybrook Bristol Bay 3150 RL.

Hitch is still working great!
by: Jim 03/08/2024
I have used this several times over the past year and I do like the simplicity of it. I did have a few issues with the base rotting on the bed of the truck a little. Sometimes it would rotate an inch or so to about 6 inches on long hauls. I called the manufacturer and they told me to increase the torque from 30 ft pounds to 40 ft pounds on the bolt that secures the base to the 5th wheel ball and that should resolve the issue. I have not used it since then but have 2 good trips coming up this month (March 2024) and May 2024. I will know then if that resolved the base rotating issue.
by: Hunter 03/06/2024
It has rotated on the gooseneck ball once and the camper hit the truck other then that one time I haven't had any issues. Overall it's a good hitch
by: Scott 02/13/2024
The hitch is much heaver and better built than it appears in the online photo.
It was easy to install over my gooseneck ball took less than 20 min. rides nice with almost no noise.
The set up also has about 3" of offset this was nice as I pull with a 6.5 bed ram 2500.
by: Jason09/26/2023
Install was pretty straight forward. First time using it, noticed alot "chucking" from fifth wheel. Hitch never turned, so I know it's torqued correctly. Not sure if it's the hitch or something else. But the hitch itself is great. Like that you can remove when not needed to give you access to full bed. Plus not heavy like the other ones. Just started using it, so we'll see how it holds up.
by: Donald07/26/2022
Haven’t had a chance to pull with it yet but I like the way it looks and how sturdy it is. Looking forward to trying it this weekend. Reason I am giving this 4 stars is,I paid extra for shipping to have it here quickly and only half of it showed up in time. The bottom have took a few extra days and I never received any email or tracking number on it. I had to make a call just to see if it was actually coming. Then when it arrived, the box was completely destroyed and the hitch had some scrapes and the stickers are in rough shape. More then likely UPS fault but still the no info on the second package and it being shipped 36 hours apart is frustrating. Just glad I had a backup.
Over all assembly was easy and I will update more on it when we return home next week!
by: Kevin 01/25/2024
2nd one I've purchased from etrailer over the years. Excellent product and price. Easy install and great construction made in USA.Remember to have torque wrench and correct sockets to use. Good luck and enjoy
by: Jason 03/21/2024
Everything was handle great on ordering the hitch
by: Greg 02/04/2024
This is a great hitch at a reasonable price. The 2 piece makes it easier for one person to install and remove from the bed of the truck. The thick one piece latch with the locking bar is a plus.
by: Steve 02/27/2024
Very nice hitch. Easy to install and the height adjustment makes it easy to adjust the height of the trailer.
by: Brandon12/19/2020
Very quick shipment. The box did come damaged some but that was shippers fault not etrailer fault. The product was by far the best option To fit my budget and needs. Wouldn’t wanna try any other hitch. Installed in less than 15 min and was hooked up and towing in less than 30.

Shipping was very quick, exceeded expectations which really helped in my situation.
Put the hitch together, haven’t mounted in truck just yet. Very easy to put together, will be installing tomorrow. Won’t be towing with it for a few more days but sure looks like it will definitely hold up for our Toyhauler. Very stout construction.
by: Mary 03/07/2024
Works great. We have had no problems pulling our 40 foot toy hauler.
by: Ron07/31/2022
Melissa at Demco was an absolute pleasure to work with. She knew exactly what to suggest and was more than pleasant to work with. I hooked up to the camper we bought with ease, the jaws locked as they should. However, I wasn’t able to bring the camper home as the lights were not working. But I will say this, I would recommend Demco, the fifth wheel adapter is a well made unit, ruggedly built and easy to install. Thank you Melissa for all your help.
by: Rick08/25/2020
Love this hitch. Had a couple of other gooseneck hitches and this one if the best. I'm able to install and remove super easy, with no help. I carry 3 tandem bikes around with a special build bike rack. Removing the main hitch and keeping the base works out perfect for transporting all 3 bikes.
by: Ryan03/22/2020
Hitch works great, easy to hook up the camper. I have a short bed truck and didn’t have any problems making turns when we drove through town or backing in the driveway. Ships out in two packages, set up isn’t a problem. Pretty self explanatory, if you’re loading or unloading from the truck either have someone help or break it down to at least two pieces. It’s pretty heavy all assembled. I would recommend this hitch versus drilling holes or welding on a gooseneck adopter to your trailer.
by: David01/17/2024
Great Service product fits great,I would recommend Etrailer any day of the week to my friends again THANK YOU.
by: Scott 08/19/2023
Ran into an issue and customer service addressed the issue completely and quickly. Packaging did not deliver well but hitch was fine. Read the installation instructions prior to ordering as there are requirements that are not on the web site that may impact your installation.
by: David07/20/2019
Took about two hours to install. Of course that includes taking the old goose neck adapter off the camper. Looks nice and I will be trying it out from Anchorage, AK to Louisiana, in September.

No complaints. Very pleased with the hitch. Much better than the 5th wheel trailer to goose nec ball adaptor I was using.
David

I would like to add to my 1 year review. Installation was very straight forward and simple. The only thing I did different was to drill a 716 hole on each side rail, into the channel beam that my gooseneck ball is mounted in. This added a little security to the mount but mainly, made it a bit more of a challenge to steal the unit. I do have to take the two bolts out to remove the hitch but only adds about 10 minutes to the process.

That would have been a dealer option. Based on your picture it appears to be a Valley Stow-A-Ball hitch or something very similar. What I recommend to tow a 5th wheel trailer is to use the Demco Recon # DM8550045. This hitch attaches to a standard 2-5/16 inch gooseneck ball regardless of brand. It is rated for 21,000 pounds, and since it has an actual 5th wheel hitch head it provides a safer connection than other adapters. Another...

- Is There a Higher Rated Version of the B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch AdapterThe B&W Companion Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3500 is rated for up to 20,000 lbs but they do not offer an upgraded model. That said, this is pretty much the limit for gooseneck to 5th wheel adapters so if you need to tow a heavier trailer then you will need to go with either a solo gooseneck or 5th wheel hitch. There is the option of the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 but this only has a slightly higher 21,000 lb weight...

With your measurement being 15-3/4", the middle 17-1/4" setting or top 18" setting will be the way to go. I can also say that the # DM8550045 will fit your current B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck hitch as long as you are not using a high-rise type ball. With you saying that your ball measured 4 inches tall, however, it is not this style and you will...

This is the same gooseneck hitch as the Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch # C60721 but for the purposes of our fit guide, since the Recon is not a sliding hitch, it isn't added as a fit for the 6-1/2 foot bed of a 2013 F-150.

My contact at Demco said that the base of this unit needs to sit directly against the truck bed in order to operate properly. If you decide to go with the cutting route the base measures 28” long and 30.5” wide.

Therefore, your fifth wheel hitch options will be limited to the Hi-Rise Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # 9480. If you have a different gooseneck trailer hitch, the best option would be the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045.
