Adapter to Convert Fifth Wheel Pin Box to Gooseneck for Towing with Ram Box Truck
Question:
I have a dodge with ram boxes and I want to tow my fifth wheel toy hauler via the B and W converta ball hitch I have installed. The issue I’m running into while trying to tow it using the fifth wheel pin box and a B and W fifth wheel hitch is that where the pin box bolts up to the trailer will not clear the sides of the truck nearing a 45 degree turn. Any suggestions concerning converting to a goose neck setup that will clear would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Since you have a B and W Turnoverball hitch installed in your truck that means you have a gooseneck hitch already.
Then for an adapter for your fifth wheel hitch we have the # CAB-C5G which will bolt to your trailer's pin box and give you a gooseneck hitch.
Normally when somebody wants to tow a fifth wheel trailer with a Ram Box truck we have to recommend a Sidewinder pin box on the trailer, but they are not compatible with B and W Companion hitches so that route would require you to go a different hitch route as well.
