How Far From Truck Can Top of Gooseneck Ball be to Use Demco Recon Adapter for Recessed Ball
Question:
Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs Item # DM8550046 I dont see their spec for depth of gooseneck ball. Mine is only 3/16 from top of ball to flat deck
asked by: William G
Expert Reply:
The top of the gooseneck ball needs to be 13/16" or closer to the top of the truck bed in order to use the Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball # DM8550046.
Since the distance from the top of your hitch ball to the bed is closer at 3/16" you can absolutely use the Recon without issue. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like.
