The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter Pin Box part # 325-GH-8045 is an excellent option to replace an existing pin box as it allows for a clean truck bed and it would be much easier to couple. The built-in cushioning is also going to improve ride quality. In regards to clearance, this would be similar to that of a standard pin box and fixed 5th wheel hitch. That said, the turning radius will vary by trailer so you will need to measure to determine this. I doubt you would be able to make full 90 degree turns unless the trailer had a tapered nose but you would still have clearance for lesser turns.
