The easiest solution is to use the Andersen Ranch Hitch # AM3100. I have included a link to a video review of this adapter for you.
Another option is to use a Goose Box. This will replace the pin box on the trailer. The Goose Boxes will only fit certain trailer pin boxes though.
# RP94716-61301 fits Lippert 0115, 1116 and 1716 pin boxes
# RP85FR fits Lippert 1621, 0719,and 1621HD pin boxes along with Fabex PB-600 pin boxes and is rated higher at 21K
