Can 5th Wheel Base Rails Be Installed On a Truck With Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
I currently have a Goose neck in my truck. I want to buy a 5th wheel trailer. Can I also install 5th wheel rails so I can use an auto slider?

I do have an option to install a fifth wheel hitch but you cannot install above bed base rails on a truck with a gooseneck hitch. The best option would be to use a fifth wheel hitch that attaches to the gooseneck hitch ball, the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # DM8550045 is my recommendation. If you need an offset because of a short bed length, only other option would be an offset fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter, the Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5GX1216.
The auto-sliding fifth wheel hitch will be out of the question unless the gooseneck hitch is removed.
