What Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Adapter do you Recommend
Question:
I currently have a Trail air pin box Lippert 1116. This was coupled to my Reese 20k hitch. I recently purchased a new truck with a flat bed and a gooseneck ball. How can I tow my fifth wheel trailer with the cheapist way ?

The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G would be the most cost effective option but it can void the frame warranty on camper depending on the manufacturer.
The Reese Goose Box 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Air Ride Coupler Adapter part # RP94716-61301 would be the second option. This option is one that would not impact the warranty of your camper at all however does have a heftier tag on it.
I've included a video I did on the Goose Box for you to check out.
