Availability of Gooseneck Pin Box for Demco 8250014 Pin Box on 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

In the process of purchasing an 2007 Excel/Peterson Ind Limited Edition Fifth Wheel Series M-33RSE. Looking for 5th Wheel to Gooseneck adapter. Camper has a Demco Model 8250014 on it. Looking for something like the Gen-Y Hitch New Executive Torsion-Flex 5th gooseneck conversion hitch, but it doesnt look like the bolt patterns line up. Any product suggestions?

Your Demco 8250014 pin box has the Fabex 520 mounting bolt hole pattern which is a little unique and why we aren't seeing any pin box replacements that work with a gooseneck hitch. So instead of replacing your whole pin box you'll need to use an adapter like the Ranch Hitch # AM3100 or Convert-A-Ball # CAB-C5G. These install to the king pin and then connect to a gooseneck hitch ball, but I will have to say that manufacturers tend to void the warranty of the trailer if something like this is used.

Other than that we do have some pin boxes that will match up with the bolt pattern that you currently have and I am attaching that link for you to check out as well as some review videos of the adapters.
