Expert Reply:
I would recommend the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G that you referenced because it will install on the king pin of your trailer and will allow your truck with a gooseneck hitch to tow it easily.
This would allow for an easy transition for your truck to tow a gooseneck or fifth wheel trailer since the adapter will only be on the fifth wheel trailer.
Check out the install video I attached for more info.
