Will the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter Work With 4" Offset Ball for B&W
Question:
Would I be able to use 4 inch Offset Ball for BandW Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches, Item # BWGNXA4085 with this mount so I could have a better turning radius for a short bed ram 2500?

Expert Reply:
The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 won't work with the 4" Offset Ball for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches part # BWGNXA4085 because of the added thickness it adds to the bed. There isn't any sort of way to get extra turning clearance with the Demco Recon. That said, it would still work on short bed models but you would most likely have reduced turning clearance depending on the shape of the trailer nose.
