Fit & Compatibility of Convert-A-Ball 5th Wheel Trailer to Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Adapter

Question

Question:

Will convert a ball cushioned 5th wheel to gooseneck adapter attach to a Scamp 19foot 5th wheel? I have a 2009 GMC with bull dog under bed and 5inch offset ball. Was planning on getting the gooseneck adapter if it will attach to the Scamp 5th wheel. Thanks

The Convert-A-Ball 5th wheel to gooseneck is not specific to a trailer, it will fit on 2 inch industry standard king pins, like the Buyers Products # 337KP20038.

It will then couple to a standard 2-5/16 inch gooseneck ball.

To determine if the 12 to 16 inch height range of the # CAB-C5G will work you can follow the following procedure:

After backing the vehicle under the trailer, measure from the top of the ball in the truck bed to the base of the pin box on the trailer. This will indicate the height of the adapter that you need. If it is from 12 to 16 then the # CAB-C5G would be a great option for your 2009 Sierra and 19 foot Scamp.

I have linked the product and a Help Article of this for you to check out.
