How Does Convert-A-Ball 5th Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Hitch Adapter Bolt to the Trailer
Question:
Is there a video or pics on how to bolt the off set adapter to the pin box
asked by: Chaz
Expert Reply:
We have not yet had a chance to install the Convert-A-Ball adapter # CAB-C5GX1216 so we do not have a video or pictures. But all you would do is use the adapter as a template and drill holes up into the bottom of the pin box. Only the offset version requires drilling holes and bolting it on. The straight one, # CAB-C5G, does not.
The offset does not provide you with more clearance when turning because it does not move the pivot point of the trailer. It does, however, provide more distance between the back of the truck and the trailer.
