Dimensions for Base on Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter
Question:
We have a 2008 Dodge 4500 with a flatbed. Installed is a gooseneck connector inset in a box in the flatbed. I need the measurement from the center of the hole that would connect to the gooseneck connection to the edge of the lock plate to determine if it will fit in the inset box of the gooseneck connector.

Expert Reply:
The base on the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G referenced in your question is 7 inches wide overall. From the center of the hitch ball to the front of the housing where the locking handle is located, there is a distance of 5 inches. Then from the center of the hitch ball to the back side of the coupler it is 2 inches in length.
Going in the other direction, the overall width is 5 inches.
This adapter is great for allowing you to tow a 5th wheel trailer with your existing gooseneck hitch. It has a towing capacity of 20,000 pounds and is designed for 2-5/16 inch gooseneck hitch balls. I have also attached a short video demonstration on this product for you to check out.
