Can Two Adapters Be Used To Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer

Question:

Hi, I was wondering if the Convert A Ball Item #CAB-C5G would work well with the Gooseneck Conversion Curt Spyder Item #16085 ? Cant get the pics to download so I put the item numbers for reference

You cannot use two adapters when towing your fifth wheel or gooseneck trailer.

Since you asked about the Spider, part # 16085 I assume you have fifth wheel above bed rails in the bed of your truck. And you also asked about the # CAB-C5G adapter which attaches to a gooseneck ball and allows you to tow a fifth wheel trailer. Using two adapters will void the warranty for any of the items you use and could result in an unsafe situation.

If you have the rails in your truck bed already I recommend installing a fifth wheel hitch. Depending on the truck bed length you will need either a fixed fifth wheel or a slider. If you want to let me know what the year make and model of your truck is and also the bed length I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.

I have attached a couple helpful articles you can check out.
